Best Linux method
Download the official Blackmagic Design Linux installer; use the studio install scripts (e.g. MakeResolveDeb) on Debian/Ubuntu.
Blackmagic ships a genuine native Linux build of Resolve 21; codec licensing (not the OS) is the main friction.
What breaks on Linux?
- Linux build officially supports CentOS/RHEL/Rocky; other distros need the community repackaging script
- H.264/H.265 consumer codecs need transcoding or the Studio (paid) version
- Requires a supported NVIDIA/AMD GPU with proper drivers
