Hi, so I am planning on switching to Linux for work and coming from Mac I use TablePlus which has a alpha release for Ubuntu. Can someone help me figure out how I can get this running on Solus?

I'm not super familiar with installing software outside of simple Ubuntu installations or through the Arch AUR so I appreciate patience.

Don't think you can. Linux has a lot of desktop environments and distributions. The distributions don't always share repos (package repositories full of applications). Solus is an independent with their own repo.
Even the tableplus company at that site says download (source code) does not exist for linux consumtion that I could see. They only do business with the UBU repo of Linux.
There is no flatpak or snap versions, either.
Since there are no files to work with, your question, I think, morphs into this: can I marry an ubuntu repo to my solus distro so I can install tableplus?

Don't think you can. Unwise and unsafe even if you did find a way.

Hang on for any dissenting views--I'm wrong often although I don't try to be.

    Seems to work OK. I installed libgee and libgtksourceview3 and extracted the deb and tar inside.

    Justin d-a-a-a-a-ng man you got the kung fu🙂--I try to be thorough before hitting 'post reply' but some days! nice work and good luck to OP

      if unpacking a .deb is too difficult/annoying, you could try some of the other SQL tools available in the repositories, like Sequeler for example. although to be honest I don't know what they're like, because I only use SQL over the command line at the moment.

      is there a guide written up somewhere for extracting .deb files? I remember it involves using ar...

        synth-ruiner Most GUI archive managers will open it no worries. I opened it with Ark (Plasma's archive manager). Otherwise ar works.

          I use Distrobox for install TablePlus with container Ubuntu on Solus. Run application on menu, I create tableplus.dekstop to ~/.local/share/applications/
