I've edited well over a thousand hours of video on my (Debian) DaVinci Resolve workstation. It's a rock-solid video editor that I can spend a day in without having to worry about a crash.

But I desperately wish Blackmagic would bring support for VST3 plugins and JACK to Linux. Or, at the very least, allow me to use my MIDI control surface in Fairlight on Linux.

As it stands, I have to do all of my audio production in Reaper, and that's a bit cumbersome.

Question: does it allow easy speed ramp/curved time remapping and what is the effect on the audio when making gradual playback speed changes?

The speed/time remapping controls are quite good; here's a clip I made that demonstrates how deep you can go: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CiSoiypPeB2/?stkn=emgyM3N3bHN...

WRT audio I'm not sure as I only did this with audio less drone footage.

Is that praise? I would hope the bar is higher.

I bought a used computer four years ago to edit 4K video, tens of thousands of raw files off my big Sony cameras, write, light code and research. Many thousands of hours of hard use.

In five years I’ve never had a single program crash and certainly not the whole system go down. Uptime is many months.

I thought that was the expectation

On Linux, yes.
