Getting USB microphones working in Davinci Resolve Fairlight on Linux + some other useful fixes.

Here is a collection of fixes for common issues I face with most distros. I am mostly writing this to help my future self for when I inevitably distro hop again or reinstall my current one and forget about all of the fixes I needed to do. Plus anyone else
