Question about stacks: I've got a .deb file that I can't install on Manjaro. I can't use dpkg because the dependencies are nonexistent in manjaro's repositories. Should I look for a way to install with dpkg or should I learn docker?

My university's IT department can't even install debuggers on the computers, so if we're on linux and need to debug something, we need to save the code to an usb stick, reboot to windows, boot a VM and install valgrind there (or manually install the needed .deb files, which ends up being even more of a hassle than just rebooting)
