From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Flatpak https://flathub.org/apps/com.carpeludum.KegaFusion
The flatpak is container holding all the dependencies the program needs
That error is from a dependence missing from your system, the flatpak'ed Kega has been compiled to use the flatpak runtime (a separate runtime from the system), this will have all the dependences required by kegaFusion.
A newbie on 23.10 ?
A newbie using the latest version of the most popular Linux distro. Why does that surprise you?
Cutting Edge, Minimal testing, and Ubuntu has a history of bricking systems. The LTS is a lot safer.
A new guy wouldn't necessarily know the history of any distro, and a fair assumption to be made by them is to just jump in using the most recent version available, over something "two years old."
Has Ubuntu changed that much in the past 4 years?
