error: Packages not found: lazygit

I thought whenever "sudo apt-get install" is used in a tutorial, I could just swap in "sudo rpm-ostree install". Now it's not there, what's the next step, or is it genuinely an error?

apt-get is for debian/ubuntu

Kyle Gospo•1/22/24, 1:50 AM

packages aren't always available or named the same between distros

Kyle Gospo•1/22/24, 1:50 AM

you could create an ubuntu distrobox and then use apt-get install lazygit in there

or check if fedora has a similar package under another name

Thank you, I'll look and if I can't find another name I'll use distrobox thanks

So I can just use the Fedora commands? If that's the same for Bazzite?

copr would work, rpm-ostree is a tool of last resort though

Kyle Gospo•1/22/24, 1:54 AM

so I would still try the distrobox first

ohhhh, I've installed everything I can via rpm-ostree first, I'll use distrobox first in future?

It supports so many, but I don't see Blue or Bazzite, so I don't know which to use, if it's obvious I'll use that but I'll use distrobox if not

Think of it like this: Rpm-ostree layers the stuff you install on top of the base Bazzite image, so it will always need to be re-added on any update. If you have many packages installed this way, it will take a significant amount of time to do so, and also potentially take away from the stability of the system.

By using distrobox and flatpaks for as much software as you possibly can, you effectively isolate it from the image and so it won't interfere with anything.

There's a few things I layer that wouldn't function well in a distrobox - think VPN software, system-wide libraries and APIs, VMs, etc.

Think of ublue and bazzite as layers on top of fedora

RealDishwash•1/22/24, 9:03 AM

You can use rpm-ostree to layer packages that are in the fedora repos

Distrobox allows you to run another distro within a container while still being tightly integrated with your host system

RealDishwash•1/22/24, 9:05 AM

An option for you could be to create an arch distrobox and running your package within that.
