What's up with Google Earth Pro in OpenSuse TW? Is this a common occurrence?

Hi all,

I'm doing my first round of distro hopping, looking for something stable and falls into the "just works" category. I'm not looking to tinker. Trying to see if something will tempt me away from Mint, and would like the added security of a rolling release.

I'm testing out OpenSuse TW in VirtualBox and the second thing I tried to install was Google Earth Pro, which I do use regularly enough that it's maybe not a dealbreaker, but it's a check point for testing out a distro.

Short version is that it's a mismatch of repos and libraries and the flatback says no-go because of a bad executable stack. I've spent days off and on trying to reinstall and fix in a way that works based on rare and meager instances years ago of people running into the same problem. Nothing works and I'm apparently not advanced enough of a Linux user to wrap my head around how to approach this other than stumbling down a few paths that don't work.

Is this something to be expected with TW? Or is this somehow unique to Google Earth Pro? Or is this a VirtualBox issue? (it shouldn't be).

Any help is appreciated.
