Maybe distrobox is a better solution?

Distrobox doesn't break on updates. Maybe this is a better solution?

exports to make it possible to run GUI apps from distrobox

cat <> ~/.distrobox.rc
xhost +si:localuser:$USER
export PIPEWIRE_RUNTIME_DIR=/dev/null
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
EOF

Create distrobox Arch container

distrobox create arch --image quay.io/toolbx/arch-toolbox:latest -Y
distrobox enter arch

Install yay

sudo pacman -S --needed git base-devel && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git && cd yay && makepkg -si --noconfirm
yay -Y --gendb

Install VMware-view dependencies, and vm-ware view from AUR using yay

sudo pacman -S libpulse libxkbfile --noconfirm
yay -S vmware-horizon-client --noconfirm

Create desktop shortcut for VMware-view

distrobox-export --app vmware-view

Exit out of distrobox

exit

Sounds like a good solution, will try again. I dont use my deck as a primary desktop anymore. Will try soon in a vm. Thanks!
