I am building a new Armory Cold storage environment from scratch so I can relearn how to operate the software in a sandbox setup. My Online Broadcasting laptop runs on Cinnamon Linux Mint version 22.2 OS and I had no problem installing Bitcoin Knots and syncing it 100% to the blockchain. I have not yet setup my Air-Gapped laptop but when I do it will also be running Linux Mint version 22.2 OS with the same armory_0.96.5_amd64_gcc7.2.deb file installed.

Nevertheless, I have encountered a problem with Armory version 0.96.5 installation. I downloaded the armory_0.96.5_amd64_gcc7.2.deb file from the link below:

https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/releases/tag/v0.96.5

And when I tried installing the deb file by right mouse clicking on it and selecting "Open with Package Installer" a window appears showing the message shown below: 

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python (>=2.6).

My Linux Mint OS already has python v3.12.3 installed and if v3 is greater than v2 why does this python dependency error appear? 

In short, I hope somebody in this forum community can advise me on what is the correct way to install the armory_0.96.5_amd64_gcc7.2.deb file so I can work around this python dependency problem within the Linux Mint v22.2 OS environment.  Thank you for your time.

Most linux distro doesn't ship Python 2 on their repository these days. You'll need to find different way to install Armory. In addition,
1. Program written on Python 2 sometimes does not run on Python 3.
2. Most (or maybe all) linux distro use different package name for Python 2 and Python 3. Here's example from Debian,
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/python2
https://packages.debian.org/stable/python3
