The v20 repository is outdated, and some applications are no longer supported (such as the latest Chrome-based browsers); the v23 repository is still in development, and some dependencies are missing, making it impossible to install.

You can resolve these issues using ACE containers.

ACE (Amber Compatability Environment) is a container app packaging and distributing solution that enable you to run app in bwrap debian 12 container.

NOTICE: Nvidia Graphic card accelerate is currently NOT SUPPORTED

The following guide is applicable to the x86/arm architecture versions of Deepin v20/23.

1. Install Compatibility Mode

https://gitee.com/amber-compatability-environment/bookworm-compatibility-mode/blob/master/README.md

Use Quick Install or Maunal Install to deploy ACE

2. Enter the Container and Configure the Application

To enter the container, use the bookworm-run command.

Then simply run sudo apt install vlc -y to install VLC.

You can directly start VLC on the host OS by executing bookworm-run vlc.

Desktop file will automatically be created.

NOTICE:

• If you want to access file in /opt or /usr or /etc and so on system directory, you need to add /host before the path

e.g. /opt/demo.mp4 -> /host/opt/demo.mp4
