My dumbass without DistroBox:
$ ar x package.deb
Ah, a wild deb-file. Let's add it to my frankendebian.
And again... Distrobox is your friend. Me, I like an immutable OS (kinoite) but I still want the AUR…
distrobox-create --name arch --image archlinux:latest
distrobox enter arch
install yay as normal
yay -S vscodium
distrobox-export --app vscodium
yay exa
distrobox-export --bin /usr/sbin/exa
exit [back to kinoite]
exa [works]
vscodium [works, has icon in application launcher]
Try it, you might like it !
As someone who’s never used Linux, TIL that software doesn’t work across all flavours of Linux.

Debtap to the rescue
su alien yourprogram.deb
So what? You don't know how to unpack .deb?
