To avoid these hacks and make it easier to install on Debian-based Linux distributions, Daniel Tufvesson has created a script, called MakeResolveDeb, that generates a deb package which you can use to install or remove DaVinci Resolve 18 like any other deb package. Furthermore, even on CentOS, the application can't be properly removed. Some guides out there mention using some quite ugly hacks to get the application to work on Ubuntu / Debian / Linux Mint / Pop!_OS, which modify system libraries.

On Linux, DaVinci Resolve officially supports CentOS only, and requires some tweaks to get it to work on other Linux distributions. After some changes, the script should work with any DaVinci Resolve or DaVinci Resolve Studio version from 15 onwards (so including the latest 18). This article was initially about DaVinci Resolve 15/15.*. Update: The script to create a DEB package to easily install DaVinci Resolve in Ubuntu, Linux Mint, elementary OS, Pop!_OS, Debian, and so on, was updated to support the latest DaVinci Resolve 18. Starting with DaVinci Resolve 15, this cross-platform professional video editor supports native audio support on Linux. The non-studio version is free to use (but not free open source software) on Linux, Windows and Mac. DaVinci Resolve is a professional video editing software which includes tools for editing, visual effects, motion graphics, color correction and audio post-production.
