Resolve article refers to Activities menu, doesn't mention black screen on first launch

The Resolve article is slightly out-of-date. It refers to the pre-COSMIC Activities menu instead of Applications or the Launcher (the Activities menu is currently still used in Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS, which is a current release until April.)

Additionally, at least on some systems (hybrid graphics systems?), Resolve shows only a completely black splash screen on its first launch (and never finishes launching), but it does successfully start on subsequent launches; we might want to make a note of this in the article, unless we can figure out why that's happening and stop it.

I don't really see a point in updating this article much since it is disabled by default as it doesn't work well on non-CentOS systems without some issues.

@ahoneybun It looks like hidden articles still show up in the search results when searching at the top of the support page, FYI. We clearly have some people still reading it, as a community member opened a PR for it over the weekend.

Not being straightforward to set up would be all the more reason to have it documented, imo. It's a very useful piece of software that takes advantage of GPU compute far more than most FOSS options, and is much easier to use than Lightworks. It's also still the second thing listed under Media Production on the Pop page:

I know it does show up there but there isn't anything we can really do there. I also know it's on the Pop page and it's another thing that we (support) don't control.
