DaVinci Resolve on openSUSE Leap 16? It Actually Works!

Can you really install DaVinci Resolve on openSUSE Leap 16 without everything breaking? In this video, I test it out step by step and show whether my older install method still works on the new Leap release.

I had issues when Leap 16 first dropped, so this was a fresh retry using my existing openSUSE DaVinci Resolve guide. Along the way, I talk about Leap vs Tumbleweed, Nvidia driver headaches, rollback with Snapper, and the extra openSUSE-specific fix needed to get Resolve launching.

If you’re trying to run DaVinci Resolve 20 on Linux, especially on openSUSE Leap 16, this should save you some time.
