How to Correctly Install DaVinci Resolve on Arch Linux

If you are a video editor who got tired of Windows bloatware and decided to move to Linux, you quickly hit a wall. Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro are not available on Linux. Yes, Linux has its own editors like Kdenlive, but if you are coming from an Adobe or DaVinci Resolve workflow, adjusting to Kdenlive can feel limiting and frustrating.

The good news is that DaVinci Resolve does work on Linux. The bad news? On Arch Linux, installing it is not a simple “next, next, finish” process or a one-line command. Resolve depends on very specific system libraries, proper OpenCL support, and correct GPU configuration. If even one piece is missing, Resolve may not launch, fail to detect your GPU, or crash without any clear error.

Welcome back to MusaBase! In this guide, I will show you the correct and stable way to install DaVinci Resolve on Arch Linux, without random fixes or workarounds that break after updates. If you want a professional video editing setup on Arch that actually works, you are in the right place.

Here is exactly what we are going to do in this guide:

  • Installing DaVinci Resolve on Arch Linux using yay
  • Selecting the correct GPU libraries during installation (AMD or NVIDIA)
  • Fixing the common yay failed to download DaVinci Resolve error
  • Manually downloading the official DaVinci Resolve zip from Blackmagic Design
  • Placing the extracted files in the yay cache to complete the installation
  • Launching DaVinci Resolve successfully on Arch Linux

This article is focused on the practical, working method only, no unnecessary tweaks or theory. By the end, DaVinci Resolve will be installed and ready to launch on your Arch system. If you just want Resolve running without wasting hours fixing errors, let’s get started.
