How sad. Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive (the IMO under-appreciated pilot), and yes his Dune even though he didn't like it are some of my favourite movies of all time. RIP

We discovered a cut that was about three hours that people who hadn’t read the book seemed to understand. Had a different intro and flowed better.

I’ve seen three versions of this movie. The theatrical and the longest one both sucked for anyone not a Herbert fan. I thought the longest was the director’s cut but he never did one. Perhaps it was the TV movie cut. But I don’t know what the “good” one was called.

This page on IMDB has all the "legitimate" versions I'm aware of, but I'm sure there are unauthorized cuts out there:

A non-theatrical "director's cut" is a Mandela Effect moment for me. I don't know what I watched. It wasn't the TV version, because that was the first version I watched. I can only guess that it was a common mistake to call some version "the director's cut" among viewers (or maybe just my friends) in the past.

The list I've linked to certainly wasn't illuminating for me, but maybe it will be for you.
