No offense, but debs are just objectively better than rpms. I use both

it doesn't matter which one is better, it's about compatibily, and there's no way to install .debs on, like, rpm based distros without getting completely broken uninstallable packages

Distrobox is the way. Running Fedora and I have debian and arch boxes (with their own home dir) installed. Graphical applications work without any fuss and I have yet to run into an issue.

I use Arch now but when I used Linux Mint, I used a rpm to deb converter sometimes, i don't know how, it always worked

Yes, that is why flatpak is a nice system
