Useful. Thanks.

You're going to have a few issues with the above, whilst it is possible to install an rpm package to Debian, like so: https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-rpm-package-on-ubuntu-linux

It's a bit of a niche use case and may cause other issues, I've never done it.

The other issue is that the broadcom drivers for that wireless card are closed source, which is antithetical to debians mission to provide an entirely open system.

There are open source reverse engineered drivers (b43) and open official drivers, (brcmsmac/brcmfmac) for some older broadcom chips but only supporting up to wireless N functionality, if I remember correctly.

After a brief scout about I have located the following: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/175810/how-to-install-broadcom-bcm4360-on-debian-on-macbook-pro

it appears the closed source driver package, wl, is able to provide support for one of two chipsets on the 4360 wireless card, but there is no support for the other.

If you have a phone that can provide usb tethering, you are most likely able to provide internet to your laptop that way and continue from there to install the broadcom wl driver, if it supports your chipset. The above stack exchange link and this arch wiki link should help with that. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Broadcom_wireless

I believe you are looking for the command-not-found package

I got in on the 72 hour early access and have spent quite some hours in hw3, because it's so beautiful and such a return to the brilliant originals, with all the modern bells and whistles. I'm going back to play more now, but seriously, this game is just fantastic.
