install licensing dongle drivers on atomic distro

Been experimenting with linux for a few years, and now I am trying to get rid of Windows completely (Win11 is really mind numbingly sh!te). I'd like to use Bazzite/Aurora, BUT, one of the software I use professionally is licensed using a dongle (Reprise) and I can get the driver installation to succeed.

I can get the drivers to work on mutable distros, but it does not work with rpm-ostree. As the software provider does not support dongles on linux, I am on my own here...

I get the following error message:
error: Running %prein for aksusbd: bwrap(/bin/sh): Child process exited with code 7; run

journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(aksusbd.prein)'

journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(aksusbd.prein)'

journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(aksusbd.prein)'

journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(aksusbd.prein)' for more information
Journalctl says:
rpm-ostree(aksusbd.prein)[10848]: Unsupported Linux distribution

I could not find much help on the web, so any ideas welcome!

maybe try doing it on a fedora or ubuntu distrobox

That's what I am trying at the moment, but without luck. I mean, I can get the driver to install and see the daemons running, but the software says it can't find hte license...

Is the dongle automatically forwarded to the distrobox?

you need to enable passthrough for the dongle

Sorry I am a bit new to all this distrobox stuff... Is there a setting I can change somewhere or do I have to create a new box with required flag(s)? Had a look in the help and it is not super clear to me yet...
