Description
I run Azure Linux 3 as my remote Linux dev environment and have found that the devtunnel setup instructions are incompatible with the RPM based Azure Linux because they attempt to use apt-get for package management.
sudo apt-get -qq update -y
sudo apt-get -qq install -y libsecret-1-0
The install script should be updated to check /etc/os-release then run the following instead if ID=azurelinux
sudo tdnf install -y libsecret

Research direction
Start by locating the Linux install script used by the linked devtunnel setup instructions and review its package-manager handling. Check /etc/os-release for Azure Linux, use tdnf install -y libsecret for that case, and verify the installer succeeds on Azure Linux 3 without changing behavior for apt-based systems.
