Mint's version of 24.04, same issue.
It seems the OS doesn't want to install gconf. Installing using apt, I get:-
The following packages have unmet dependencies: balena-etcher : Depends: gconf-service but it is not installable Depends: gconf2 but it is not installable Depends: libgconf-2-4 but it is not installable
