In short.
I am on Rocky Linux 8.
My head is bloody.
(Edit: I failed to notice that I didn’t specify what I’m trying to install and run.. it’s Audacity. I’m trying to use audacity)
I have tried the appimage, it won’t run.
I have tried the flatpac, it won’t run.
I have tried the software center in gnome, it installed a version 2, now it does have v3. But after install… it won’t run.
With all the attempts, I try to follow the cryptic install instructions. Most of the time failing because I can’t use apt or other such solutions.
I have thousands of tabs open from hundreds of google searches. Nothing seems to point towards any way forward.
And as usual… with everything Linux, it’s “works for me” or “git good”… but no hints as to what is making it so impossible to go ahead and just install and use a friggin app.
I may be sounding incomprehensible, but it is my genuine experience trying to get this to work. I feel like I’m trying to decipher the Necronomicon and the old Ones are just laughing at my futility.
If you are running the latest version on Rocky Linux 8… then… can you point me towards a comprehensible tutorial for how to achieve this seemingly impossible task? Because, even if it involves arcane rituals of ancient spirits, I’d try it.
