Yes-  the only real way to do this  is with a flatpak or docker
instance, or a virtual machine, running an old version of Linux.
However, you may have problems with plugins and, possible, accessing
file.

Sometimes it's best to go with the flow :) The clone tool is  working
fine here in  both 2.10.x and  2.99.x
