        antiX does not use snap packages since snap depends on systemd.

        appimages are a much better option.

            Telegram doesn’t need a Snap.

            Go to their Website, download, unpack an run.

            I never had to install anything and it works like a charm.

                Try again – or the website has your IP as ‘untrusted’

                      There is no deb file. The link takes you to download a tarball file.

                        Actually, there is a .deb file in Debian Sid, just I’ve no idea if it will break anything or not.

                        Tarball is “idiot-proof”, download, copy & paste the package in some folder (like “OwnSoftware”), unpack, double click and the app pops up.

                        .deb file might want to try pulling some dependencies or what not (I never tried and can’t say).

                        If anybody wanna try it:

                        telegram-desktop

                        Also, with tarball you don’t have to worry for updates as it does it automatically.
                        On modern OS, it’ll make the Start Menu shortcuts automatically too.
                        Less probable in antiX, but again, I didn’t try it.

                        New shortcut will be created under ~/.local/share/applications.

                                It was expected that something like that would happen — you’d have to change your repos to sid if you want to get it working.

                                (It’ll probably stay a mystery why you’re desperately trying to get it run the most complicated and unreliable way.)

                                  That link also not working.

                                  No DEB file exist officially.

                                  Strange thing is that you can’t access the Telegram website.

                                  You can try to check:

                                  https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
                                  https://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check
                                  https://www.dnsbl.info/dnsbl-database-check.php

                                  If you are unable to access the Telegram website, you might be blocked by some provider or your government.
                                  In that case you’ll have to try to use some PAID VPN service.
