-## Error: Outdated Library Dependencies
+
+You can use distrobox to run DaVinci Resolve on any Linux distribution. It works like a Docker container with full desktop integration (based on Podman).  
+Fedora 38 as a base OS works fairly reliably, but you can also use Rocky Linux (the official supported distro).
+
+```sh
+# create a Fedora 38 container and enter it
+distrobox create distrobox create --name resolve --image registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:38
+distrobox enter resolve
+
+# install dependencies
+sudo dnf install alsa-lib apr apr-util fontconfig freetype libglvnd-egl librsvg2 libXcursor libXi libXinerama libxkbcommon-x11 libXrandr libXrender libXtst mtdev pulseaudio-libs mesa-libGLU xcb-util-image xcb-util-keysyms xcb-util-renderutil xcb-util-wm mesa-libGL
+
+# install runtime dependencies (rocm-opencl is only needed for AMD GPUs, for NVIDIA you need the NVIDIA OpenCL driver)
+sudo dnf install alsa-plugins-pulseaudio libxcrypt-compat rocm-opencl
+
+# run the DaVinci Resolve installer
+chmod +x DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_19.0_Linux.run
+./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_19.0_Linux.run --appimage-extract
+sudo SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./squashfs-root/AppRun
+
+# navigate through the installation wizard and then proceed with the following steps
+
+# apply workaround for outdated libraries
+sudo mkdir /opt/resolve/libs/disabled
+sudo mv /opt/resolve/libs/libglib* /opt/resolve/libs/disabled
+sudo mv /opt/resolve/libs/libgio* /opt/resolve/libs/disabled
+sudo mv /opt/resolve/libs/libgmodule* /opt/resolve/libs/disabled
+
+# run DaVinci Resolve
+/opt/resolve/bin/resolve
+
+# export desktop files
+distrobox-export --app resolve
+```
+
+Now you can run DaVinci Resolve from your desktop environment or from the terminal.
+
+```sh
+distrobox enter resolve
+/opt/resolve/bin/resolve
+```

-## How to get media to be compatible with the free version of DaVinci Resolve on Linux
-
-You can encode your media to ProRes with PCM audio using ffmpeg. Note that the file size will be large.
+If you use the free version of DaVinci Resolve, you may need to encode your media to ProRes with PCM audio for it to be compatible. (Note that the file size will be much larger than the original.)  
 
 ```sh
 ffmpeg -i in.mov -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -qscale:v 9 -c:a pcm_s16le out.mov
 ```
 
-## Sources
+If you use the studio version, you may still need to encode audio but you should be able to use `-c:v copy` to keep the video stream as is. This will save time and disk space.
