My friend is not Linux techsavvy. He has tried for about a week to get it working on Linux Mint, with no success. Instead, broke his system a couple times trying to get it working.
Is there an easier way to get it running? Would running it using Wine, or is there some kind of Flatpak or AppImage type thing to make it easier?
Judging by OP's history, the title seems to be missing the critical words Davinci Resolve for what they want to get working.
I haven't tried to use that program before, but their website says they have a Linux version. It's not clear to me what distros they actually support though -- it just says "Linux" on their downloader and then pops up a registration form which isn't very helpful for trying to provide assistance...
I did a search and found a thread from ~2 years ago about running on Mint specifically with an AMD card that might be worth a look if you're running similar hardware: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=426123 -- probably not relevant with an NVIDIA card though.
If you can't get it to work natively, you could try running the Windows installer under Lutris or Heroic or similar (treating it like a video game) and see what happens, I guess.

Davinci Resolve, thats correct. Silly me, I never noticed cross posting did not include this part.
lol, oops. Nice catch... Well, I guess I can hold onto my guide for anyone in the future...
