Issues Installing ProtonVPN Official App on Bazzite through Distrobox

I'm a linux newbie and would really appreciate some help here.

I'm on bazzite and want to install protonvpn. Ideally the official app, not flatpak, so I can use the apparantly newly added split-tunneling.Previously i installed both protonvpn-cli and the gui version, "layered on top of rpm-ostree" as far as I understand it. And thats actually not desireable? I think i removed those.

Now i entered my distrobox, which is better for this(?), and followed these instructions: https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-vpn-fedora

These commands are the ones I used:wget "https://repo.protonvpn.com/fedora-$(cat /etc/fedora-release | cut -d' ' -f 3)-stable/protonvpn-stable-release/protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm"

sudo dnf install ./protonvpn-stable-release-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm && sudo dnf check-update --refresh

sudo dnf install proton-vpn-gnome-desktop

sudo dnf install libappindicator-gtk3 gnome-shell-extension-appindicator gnome-extensions-app

(the last one is supposed to install the system tray icon)

But protonvpn is nowhere to be found. (protonvpn --version doesnt show anything.)

Any suggestions or resources that might help me?
