Oh, it's not working because the Deb is built for arm64 (aarch64) architecture processors and you're trying to install on a device with an Intel Pentium 3237U processor, which is x86_64 architecture.

I don't offer Linux packages in non-universal formats, such as Deb and RPM, because they won't work the same accross all Linux distributions. The arm64 Deb package is the exception because of the reasons stated over in our forum thread, but it only works on arm64 devices: http://forum.cuperino.com/t/appimage-vs-deb-installer/41/2

You could build your own Deb for x86_64 or any architecture by following the instructions at: https://github.com/Cuperino/QPrompt/issues/38#issuecomment-1011693418

Nevertheless, I recommend using the AppImage, the Snap, or the Flatpak on x86_64 machines. They're all tested to work well and should give you the same user experience across all distributions.
