if you are talking about single deb packages of statically built
binaries, you can indeed install the single debs just fine...

thiss is very brave and works by sheer luck, if that lib would be
linked against something not available in 22.04 you'D get into a mess
of having to manually pull in all deps and potentially breaking all
gtk2 apps (if you use still anything that old)

the point is: never mix official distro repos, things are using
different compiler options and different versioned dependencies in
incompatible ways, adding some official debian distro repo will trash
your system effectively ...
