Bazzite / atomic / immutable distrobox install

How to get distrobox working for anyone who wants to find out without messing around bazzite kde, but likely similar in bazzite gnome (fedora based distrobox): 1. download the latest rpm (x86_64 for normal PCs) from opendeck's github 2. distrobox create -n opendeckbox 3. open DistroShelf and click "Install .rpm Package" and select the rpm you downloaded (you may have to accept some prompts) 4. open the box's terminal, either by clicking the terminal button to the right of status in distrobox or by running distrobox enter opendeckbox 5. run opendeck 6. enable system startup and run in background 7. click Applications in DistroShelf, the 3 dots next to OpenDeck, export App 8. (kde, likely similar in gnome) system settings, autostart, add new, "OpenDeck (on opendeckbox)" 9. (optional, system tray on startup) (kde) menu editor, "OpenDeck (on opendeckbox)", add --hide at the end of Command-line arguments and click save show and hide GUI via system tray Not completely sure about this but iirc you can after that run the install command if you need wine

Fedora Kinoite should also be supported by this since it's kde plasma and includes DistroBox, you may have to install the flatpak DistroShelf

Instead of clicking install RPM, just run the OpenDeck install script inside the distrobox because that should install Wine as well the install script has been tested in a distrobox

Didn't work for me, that's why I recommend the rpm It just gave a "command not found" upon trying to run the script I am guessing that the fedora toolbox image for distrobox doesn't come with the required dependencies to run the script but some other distrobox images do You can run other versions pretty easily but that is the default for bazzite/fedora

distoboxes share some assets, maybe you had installed the dependencies on another box on the same machine or it could have been that cloudflare outage affected the install-script, but I think it should have ended by then

something like curl: command not found/bash: command not found or what? like, you need bash and curl for sure, because the command you run originally is a curl-bash

I don't remember and since I have already installed the dependencies I can't test again I think I saw something like that though, maybe a line number aswell, should have saved a screenshot but now it's too late
