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!
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

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

It’s seriously frustrating. I had this happen just last night, but fortunately I was able to get the app I needed another way.
This shit is crazy thanks for letting me know
How does distro box do with more complicated gui based applications?
Yup. Should work fine. I know some people use this to get Divinci Resolve to work on Ubuntu.
The only thing I’ve had problems with is a VPN
What about Cisco packet tracer?
It’s worth a shot!
