Drivers: Ensuring Compatibility
For DaVinci Resolve to operate smoothly, it's crucial to have compatible OpenGL and OpenCL drivers. While open-source OpenCL drivers are limited in their support, there's an exception as of 25/08/2023—intel-compute-runtime. To set this up, you'll need to compile mesa and compute-runtime manually and configure specific environmental variables. Check out the detailed instructions in this issue on the Arch Linux Wiki.
