About a week ago I setup Ubuntu as my primary OS on an old machine. It is my first time trying a unix based OS (previously windows). It has been ok, but it seems like every time I try to install something I run into problems. The app has the wrong permissions or I don’t have the right packages or I need to change port settings ect… I was expecting a learning curve but I wanted to know if this is something I should expect to be a long term issue or if I will aquire the skills to side step stuff like this over time?
Update* I got it working. Last night I reinstalled it and figured it out. Two issues. On initial install I failed to update one of the packages needed. I also assigned the service to a group without the required permissions. On reinstall I rectified both of these issues and it works flawlessly. Thanks all for your help and input (and ignoring typos in the title)!
I use Ubuntu and install the very little I use through the Snap store. My Linux PC is for gaming with steam.
I have downloaded the Steam deb package from the steam website and it seems to launch the install through the Snap store app when I click on it.
MakeMKV has an app.
TeamViewer had a deb package
Some of the tools I needed were in the snap store.
I try to stick to the snap store if I can.
What were you trying to install?
I installed Sonarr. It was definitely through the graphical app manager
I haven’t heard of that but I found this install page.

I’ve been using Linux for a couple decades and the *arrs were a pain the ass when I installed them a few months ago. You really jumped into the deep-end starting with them.
