Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.

I’m my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I’d prefer running an app locally if possible.

I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn’t have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it’s simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.

Looking for options… if anyone can help a Linux noob I’m all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.

    You can just install Arch in a distrobox if you want or a debian + children in a distrobox, install the app and it should launch from your launcher like any other app you use. Distrobox is fantastic.

    When I need to install something from the AUR, I just enter my Arch distrobox and do it, same for Ubuntu and stuff.

    Edit:

    I forgot to mention that you’ll need to use the distrobox-export command to make it so you can launch an app like any other easily from your launcher.

      I have started using Distrobox + Arch as well to get the AUR in other systems. I quite like Chimera Linux for example but it has few packages at the point. Distrobox + Arch / AUR solves that perfectly.
