I have a couple of beginner questions, that I hope it is okay that I post here. I’ve tried different distros before (Debian, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and NixOS), but I am still going by tutorial when I have to find stuff out.
So for my work, I need to use a certain writing program, that is only in .deb and .rpm and there is no flatpak available. At first I managed to install via rpm-ostree.
However when I tried to Rebase to the latest release (for fun), it threw up some errors, and I found a post positing that those errors could be due to using rpm-ostree which somehow makes rebasing an issue. Something with rpm-ostree messing with the immutable nature of Aurora, also making it unable to update itself as well.
So is that really true? Right now I am running said software through Distrobox with Boxbuddy in a Fedora instance, which to me seem a bit icky. Like I can get it to run completely “natively” in Aurora, and now it is running with a tiny Fedora icon and the program icon is all wrong. I can manage but I just like everything to be in order.
So in short, do I really need to run Resolve and the writing program (Fade In) in Distrobox to be able to get new updates to my system?
This is the rebase error I get, where it says that it is complete, but also that something went wrong:
mar 09 18:50:51 aurora ublue-rebase[5480]: + systemd-run --machine=lars@.host --user notify-send ‘System Rebase’ ‘Rebase completed. Please reboot to use the new image.’

Thank you in advance.
