[!WARNING] The project is being completely rewritten in Flutter to enhance performance and expand compatibility with Debian-based systems. All currently open issues will be addressed in the new version.
What is DaVinci Helper?
DaVinci Helper is a companion app that simplifies the installation and use of BlackMagic DaVinci Resolve (both Free and Studio versions) on Linux.
The app is written in Python and features a modern GTK4 + Adwaita interface.
Currently, DaVinci Helper officially supports only Fedora Linux (all spins and derivatives).
If the project receives good feedback, I plan to release a version for Debian-based systems like Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
