I broke the law: Installed Davinci Resolve 18.6 on Debian 12!

Would it be still possible to install Debian, and do the USB workaround on the installed system?

Why on Earth do you need internet just for installing? Is it a netinstall maybe?
Try to install from a Debian live, get one from here:

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/

I guess you don’t have everything installed right.
But I don’t Fedora, have zero experience with it, so I have no idea what exactly you may miss.

Arch has a nice table about what works with DR and what not:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve

This may help you to get some clue.

Edit:

I’m trying to find that video, still no luck…
Only find stories, that Davinci won’t work with mesa-opencl, but those from years ago…

And all of a sudden found this one:
https://nobaraproject.org/docs/davinci-resolve/configuring-davinci-resolve-with-amd-gpus/

Note:

Great news! DaVinci Resolve -finally- works without any AMD proprietary drivers required!

And

some users may need to install the following additional packages for DR to run: mesa-libOpenCL

So I’m positive to make DR 18 to work on an older AMD (such as RX550) using only distro-builtin packages.
