  • Step 1: download deb
  • Step 2: open a terminal
  • Step 3: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/yourde.deb

Now whether or not all the packages are fubared at this point is unknown, but that’s how to install a deb file.

Does it have Discovery as a normal app store? You might be able to use that.

Honestly, give the terminal a shot - it’s not as complicated as you may think.

Sure, basically any Debian-based distro should have gdebi in its repos.

Normal dependency checks will still be performed so it won’t wreck the system.

I usually do sudo dpkg -i <filename.deb>

Is this Pop_OS 22.04¿?

If so there is a tool called eddy pre-installed to handle .deb file installs. All you have to do is double click on the file.

Odd. Can you share which application is it that you are trying to install. Maybe it doesn’t create a desktop file hence the lack of an launcher in the app drawer¿?

Unless your program doesnt have a flatpak or appimage just avoid deb as sometimes they are behind flatpak. I noticed this in the discover store for kde plasma for example. Plus flatpaks and appimages are the future as they support all distributions instead of mainly just debian-based ones.

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.
