The repository for Deepin v20 is outdated, and some applications are no longer supported (e.g., the latest Chrome-based browsers). The repository for v23 is still under development, and some dependencies are missing, making installation impossible. Using the ACE container can resolve these issues.

This tutorial is applicable for x86/ARM architecture versions of Deepin v20/23.

1. Installing the ACE Compatibility Environment

Follow the link below for the installation guide:

ACE Compatibility Environment Installation Guide（https://gitee.com/amber-ce/amber-ce-bookworm/blob/master/README.zh.md）

Complete the deployment of the ACE compatibility environment using either the quick install or manual install methods.

1. Entering the Container and Configuring Applications

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

Update the package list with:

sudo apt update

Then, install the desired application (e.g., VLC) with:

sudo apt install vlc -y

This will automatically create a desktop file on the host machine.
