From my reading it seems that Resolve runs fine on Linux with the exception of some codecs not being available.

My biggest concern is with playing footage inside of Resovle (I think the codec issue might affect this as well). My Sony A7IV records footage at 4k h264 (10 bit 4:2:2), the free version in Windows doesn’t playback this footage at all. MacOS doesn’t have this issue at all.

I’m assuming I’ll need to transcode my footage with ffmpeg on Linux the same as I do on Windows. Is that correct?

H264 does work fine in the paid version. The lack of AAC support is sometimes an issue though. For footage in AAC+H264, I usually just run it through ffmpeg to transcode the audio to PCM and keep the video as-is.
