DaVinci Resolve has partial support for Intel GPUs on Linux. Audio playback works on the Fairlight page, but the video timeline does not work. To add Intel support, add the following setting to your <code>configuration.nix</code>:

== X11 or Wayland ==


DaVinci Resolve can run on both X11 and on Wayland.
Currently, DaVinci Resolve can not run on native Wayland. This is due to qtwayland version mismatch. See [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/341634 nixpkgs issue] .  


If you want to maximize your chances you can try and start davinci in the following way to check for ROCM or Rusticl support

== OpenFX Plugins ==
The usual install location <code>/usr/OFX/Plugins</code> is not available on NixOS. Fortunately, DaVinci Resolve supports loading OpenFX plugins from locations specified in <code>OFX_PLUGIN_PATH</code>. This environment variable can be configured comfortably by adding the following code listing to the system configuration:<syntaxhighlight lang="nixos">
environment.variables = {
    OFX_PLUGIN_PATH = lib.concatStringsSep ";" [
      # specify plugin packages here
    ];
};
</syntaxhighlight>Plugins usually contain a directory called <code>$PLUGINNAME.ofx.bundle</code> with a <code>.ofx</code> file somewhere inside of it. Since the coercion of a package to a string outputs its store location and the paths specified in the environment variable are traversed recursively, it is not necessary to specify the precise location of the ofx bundle in the nix store.

If you can spot a line similar to <code>Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.12) with this library (5.15.2)</code>, and have configured QT options in your NixOS configuration (<code>qt.enable = true;</code>), try disabling them.

=== Resolve crashes on Edit/Fusion tab with Intel iGPU ===
If you are using <code>intel-compute-runtime-legacy1</code> and DaVinci Resolve crashes whenever you try to switch to Edit or Fusion tab, it indicates the issue with the latest package. If you want to learn more about how to pinning packages works you can read [[FAQ/Pinning Nixpkgs|this article]].
Here's the solution for [[NixOS system configuration#Defining NixOS as a flake|flake-based]] NixOS system:
{{File|3=inputs = {
    nixpkgs-c5ae371f1.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/0c3fc1cd3494aa52a2c111d5f18a7689fd15ab83"; # Paste this nixpkgs commit to your Flake's inputs.
  };
  outputs = { nixpkgs, ... }@inputs
  {
    # Pass it to your configuration.nix via inputs.
  };|name=flake.nix|lang=Nix}}{{File|3={ inputs, ... }:
{
  # OpenCL support.
  hardware.graphics = {
    enable = true;
    enable32Bit = true;
    extraPackages =
    let
      pkgs = import inputs.nixpkgs-c5ae371f1 {
        system = "x86_64-linux";
        config.allowUnfree = true;
      };
    in
      [
        pkgs.intel-compute-runtime-legacy1 # Use the latest driver commit that worked with DaVinci Resolve.
