Installing an application

Hello! Trying to install an application from github.

  • I was told installing it from a flatpack is better, but the application does not have a flatpack
  • I was told the second best option is running it directly as a .AppImage, but it won't start for some reason
  • Failing the above two, my options are a .deb package, .rpm package, and an "AUR package"(?).
  • I was told you can install applications through "Distro Boxes", so using BoxBuddy I attempted to install a debian distro, but was told I should install "bookworm" but NOT a "backport"(?), which is not an option in BoxBuddy.
  • I read through https://docs.bazzite.gg/Installing_and_Managing_Software/Distrobox/ and watched the tutorial video which explains what Distro Boxes are, but didn't solve my specific issues
I think that's a summary of everything so far! I'm just looking to install the application
