Does Unity work with Distrobox?

I previously installed UnityHub / Unity on Arch Linux. The editor spews engine related errors, but I can test play my games in the Editor just fine.

When I went to export a project as a test (since what I needed to test needed to run in a seperate window) I get this exact error: https://discussions.unity.com/t/build-problem-on-ubuntu-24-04-assertion-failed-on-expression-success-actual-size/1542515/2So

I was told that “Oh yeah you are on Arch, that is the problem. Try Ubuntu”. Now I’d rather not if I can avoid have to dual boot my machine and maintain a Ubuntu partition just for Unity, however I will if and only if Unity cannot run under Distrobox.

So that is my question, can Unity run under a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Distrobox container decently well?
