Has anyone been able to download MC24 to a rolling linux distro
tlcmd:
Awesomedonkey and Mike,
I actually have sftp://library.local/home/tlcmd/mediacenter24-24.0.74/mediacenter24-24.0.74-2.spec as a 224.6 kb RPM spec file in my library folder. When I open it with Pluma, I get more than this post can accept. I can poaibly send it by PM, but I'm lost again. I think I am making progress.
I really appreciate the help

I just read up a bit on GekkoOS. I see it's just openSUSE, so pls go here and read the instructions carefully in the section "Download and Install", it's really all you need.
"zypper" is the packagement wrapper for rpm on openSUSE, so if you're not familiar with zypper/rpm, I would suggest reading up or run "zypper --help".
With this method, there's no reason to send files anywhere or to open any file (.deb or .rpm). You just need to install the resultant rpm file created by alien, using the zypper install command from to post above.
Awesome Donkey:
Just in case you need it, here's a .rpm file converted from the .deb file using alien on Ubuntu. I don't currently have a Fedora or openSUSE or GekkoOS VM to test it in so it may not work.

Just saying, but you might find this is more trouble than it's worth, because you'll have to repeat this process with every MC update. I'd still highly suggest switching to another rolling distro like Manjaro, because I know for a fact MC can be installed there very easily (and updates are handled like any other package).
Mike Noe:
^^ Good point. If you're struggling getting started with a rolling distro and package management in general, Manjaro is good way to go.

Awesomedonkey & Mike,
While my cpu and Gekko said that the last RPM file for MC@$ was broken, I installed it anyway and it seems to be working well. Will have to spend time setting it up, but I really appreciate all your help. We'll find out how much I actually learned when MC 25 is released.
Thank you both very much. If you are ever in Greensboro, N.C., let me know and will treat you to dinner.
