    Nothing Distrobox can’t fix. I can run AUR, RPM, and even those deb files that only run on Ubuntu for some damn reason on my Debiain system.

    It’s probably already in your default repos too.

      even those deb files that only run on Ubuntu for some damn reason on my Debiain system.

      FUCK i understand now! the software i wanted to install had a .deb but its website said it was for ubuntu 20.04, no wonder it didn’t work on a debian container!

      i’ll try this RIGHT NOW, hope it works!

        it didn’t work, but i soon found out by looking at it’s entry on the AUR that the package is itself broken, not the distro environment it’s supposed to be installed on

        It’s seriously frustrating. I had this happen just last night, but fortunately I was able to get the app I needed another way.

      How does distro box do with more complicated gui based applications?
