Gene,
With the best will in the world - this *isn't* a Debian problem.
It's an armbian problem, maybe - it's a Gene problem, but it's not a
problem with Debian-provided software.
Similarly with snaps/AppImages/flatpaks - install from third party sites
and you take yourself outside straightforward Debian - at whcih point it's
time to go and raise complaints with your software provider.
If you mix in packages from various sites, you create a sort of
FrankenDebian - that's fine, but don't ask Debian to sort out the
resultant problems when most of us here can only speak to Debian
experience.
All the very best, as ever,
Andy
