what's the ideal way to install a .deb package in bazzite so the application doesn't get wiped out with updates
the program I'm trying to install is not in flatpack format

Crono•8/13/24, 12:54 AM

Distrobox

antheas•8/13/24, 12:54 AM

wahts the app is the proper question

CCrono But that was an integral portion of my workflow

distrobox is the only way to install a deb on bazzite

火三要素🔥OP•8/13/24, 12:55 AM

It's also avail in .rpm
would deb still be the better choice

antheas•8/13/24, 12:55 AM

no, but whats the app

old version of opera

antheas•8/13/24, 12:55 AM

you can directly install the rpm

antheas•8/13/24, 12:55 AM

dont flatpaks have versioning?

antheas•8/13/24, 12:56 AM

i actually dont know

antheas•8/13/24, 12:56 AM

you can layer it. Your updates will take 2-3m longer

this is pretty far back
Don't think flatpack went back that far

antheas•8/13/24, 12:56 AM

if its temporarily thats the way to go

I'll give distrobox a whirl and see how it goes
Thanks for the input fellahs

using boxbuddy
I've got no idea which "Image" to try lol

Max•8/13/24, 1:06 AM

what OS are you planning on using?

火三要素🔥OP•8/13/24, 1:06 AM

Maybe I don't understand the question
I'm using bazzite on a GPD device

Max•8/13/24, 1:07 AM

I mean the distrobox image my bad should have been more clear

Raindrac•8/13/24, 1:07 AM

For a .deb, I recommend Ubuntu as the image

火

火三要素🔥OP•8/13/24, 1:07 AM

I guess that's what I don't understand
I've ran this same ver of Opera on the steamdeck which is Debian bookworm base

火

火三要素🔥OP•8/13/24, 1:08 AM

There's only "bookworm-backports" in the list tho

Raindrac•8/13/24, 1:09 AM

You could use a Debian image but iirc their distrobox images are slightly larger than Ubuntu

火三要素🔥OP•8/13/24, 1:10 AM

fair enough

火三要素🔥OP•8/13/24, 1:11 AM

docker vs quay?

Max•8/13/24, 1:11 AM

both should be fine I use the quay

and does init system matter

Max•8/13/24, 1:12 AM

Not needed

Raindrac•8/13/24, 1:12 AM

Don't use init in most cases

I posted a bit earlier about bazzite giving me this error and now when i try to rebase it i get another error

MrNewbie•8/13/24, 1:25 AM

what's your disk layout look like?

Jj0rge what's your disk layout look like?

Weez•8/13/24, 1:27 AM

Lots of efi partitions

j0rge•8/13/24, 1:27 AM

did you give the system the entire disk during installation?

Im trying to dualboot from a singular drive so i just clicked the drive assuming it would take the unallocated space

Ggezellig I didn't see in the scrollback, which file are you talking about?

Kexodus•8/13/24, 1:28 AM

Excellent, thank you @Kexodus

j0rge•8/13/24, 1:31 AM

yeah that's not going to work, you have to give it the whole disk

MrNewbie•8/13/24, 1:31 AM

it appears xow isn't installed. thought it was included.

Jj0rge yeah that's not going to work, you have to give it the whole disk

Weez•8/13/24, 1:31 AM

So theres no possibility to dualboot from a singular drive?

j0rge•8/13/24, 1:32 AM

there's instructions somewhere on the forum, you gotta do a bunch of stuff

WWeez So theres no possibility to dualboot from a singular drive?

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 1:36 AM

it's possible, it's also not recommended

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 1:36 AM

random windows updates can break your dual boot

Kyle Gospo•8/13/24, 1:36 AM

ymmv

MrNewbie•8/13/24, 1:41 AM

@weez i just setup dualboot on a single drive (i mean, i have multiple drives, but my first nvme drive has both windows and bazzite on it). I've a 500GB drive. made a 200GB partition for windows during install, left the rest uninitiated. Installed bazzite, clicked the drive, voila.

BlazinByte•8/13/24, 1:41 AM

Installing Bazzite isn't really the issue

problem is when Windows decides to do an update.

Linus Xu•8/13/24, 1:42 AM

It’s hopefully just the matter of copying EFI files when that happens…?

MrNewbie•8/13/24, 1:42 AM

I've never had an issue with Fedora Silverblue... why would I have one with Bazzite

what's the ideal way to install a .deb package in bazzite so the application doesn't get wiped out w
