I know Beersmith 3 isn't officially supported on Linux outside of Ubuntu, but I'm trying to get it going on my Debian machine. I'm doing this primarily because I no longer have a Windows machine outside of work. I have a very old Ubuntu laptop that has a hard time running Beersmith, among about everything else.
Problem: I can install about every thinkable version of Beersmith 3, including the version in the Snap Store. They all work pretty well with the two .deb packages from the Beersmith 3 working and looking fantastic. The issue is I can't save anything, ever, no matter what. I can install a backup to bring in my equipment and recipes, but if I make a new folder or a new recipe, it won't save after closing the application. What's weird is that it also won't export the new recipes either when trying to create a new full .zip file.
I've given my user read/write permissions to the .beersmith3 folder that's created, or the Snap folder. Either way, doesn't matter.
Looking for any suggestions to getting this going. I would rather not fully use the web version nor try to put this on a Windows machine used for work only. I could attempt the docker version I see floating around the web, but really trying to keep it on a desktop for quick and easy use.
