distrobox enter davincibox -- setup-davinci squashfs-root/AppRun distrobox
Important: Replace /path/to/... with the correct location of this binary.
Important notes from the project’s author:
The suffix at the end is for the add-davinci-launcher script. If omitted, setup will still run, but adding the launcher to your application menu won’t work.
You can still run add-davinci-launcher separately, as either add-davinci-launcher distrobox or add-davinci-launcher toolbox, depending on what you’re using.
After installation completes, you can remove the squashfs-root directory.
Read more about davincibox for both upgrade instructions and more information on the container.
This was my first foray into distrobox and I’m still learning how to manage it. I’ve updated to Bazzite 3.0 and when I update I seem to be having an issue updating the Davinci Resolve application.

How would I go about resizing the root filesystem on the container? I’m not even using an Nvidia card but the lack of space is blocking updates.
OK, I found my problem. I was using Konsole to create the container. Switched to Ptyxis and my issue is resolved. Shame, I guess I’ll have to switch to manage containers as I otherwise prefer Konsole.
The ujust install-resolve command doesn’t work fully. It starts to do its thing and looks like its working, but when it gets towards the end, it tries to extract the .run file and fails to do so because “the file system is read-only”.
What it does correctly though is set up the davincibox and all that, so all you have to do after it fails on the extraction portion is pick up from step 7 and it will go the rest of the way, including making the application shortcut and all.
I was able to run DaVinci Resolve via davincibox on my laptop which just has an AMD integrated GPU, but basically none of the keybindings I’m used to in Resolve do what they’re supposed to do (this issue is probably not related to graphics cards). Note also that codec support is somewhat limited - e.g. H.264 decoding is only available with Resolve Studio.
(I ended up just switching to Kdenlive, since that is sufficient for my needs)
Should be no problem Davinci will use Opencl if it doesn’t detect an nvidia card (Davinci Resolve → Preferences → Memory and GPU → GPU configuration to verify your setting … CDUA is the nvidia option, for nvidia cards only.)
