Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    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.

    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.

    What about Cisco packet tracer?

    It's worth a shot!

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

    [–] art@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

    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
