I currently use the free version of DaVinci Resolve on Linux, namely Zorin OS which is a based on Ubuntu. There is currently no setup/support for Ubuntu based distros but you can get it to work with some hacking and community scripts. Now I am interrested in getting the paid studio version but if there is no actual setup or support for my distro then I am very hesitent to buy the paid version. My question is: Are there any plans on making a Ubuntu version distributed as .deb, preferably through the apt package management system?

Will there be support for Ubuntu based Linux distros?

I wish I could answer your question in full. I do know that DVR has a download available for Linux; however, support for installation and features is lacking, so I do not believe DVR offers much in that department. I did find a site that may be of some use to you, where you can dig up a little more information about the support and/or workarounds you may need to follow.
I run DVR on Windows, so I do not have any hands-on experience with Linux distros. Hopefully, the site I pointed you to will have more information than I can provide.

Ok thanks for the info. I did search for the best way to install DVR on Ubuntu/Debian and found a script called "MakeResolveDeb" that works well and DVR actually works pretty well on Linux. I hope Blackmagic Design will look into supporting Linux more in the future, since there are more an more people switching to Linux these days.

I understand exactly what you are saying. I use Linux as well, but it's all server-side with Docker. I use Ubuntu Server, but even though I have a dual-boot partition running Mint, I rarely log in and use it. I have thought many times about moving away from the Windows environment, but there are still many issues with the programs I use regularly.
I know that Blackmagic offers the Linux version of the software, but I'm certain that, given the number of distros available, there are probably too many issues that may differ from distro to distro. I'm glad you got it running. Hopefully, you will not have any issues pushing forward.
