Ubuntu Apache non-root route returns 404 not found

I tried to install laravel 10 in /var/www/html on ubuntu server, but I can't access any page other than the root url (it returned apache's "The requested URL was not found on this server")

I've set the documentroot on sites-available/000-default.conf to /var/www/html/public

I set my root .htaccess like this:

    # Displaying php errors
    php_flag display_errors on
    php_value error_reporting 6143

<Directory /var/www/html/>
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride none
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^$ public/ [L]
RewriteRule (.*) public/$1 [L]

and left public/.htaccess unchanged like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
        Options -MultiViews -Indexes
    </IfModule>

    RewriteEngine On

    # Handle Authorization Header
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

    # Redirect Trailing Slashes If Not A Folder...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)/$
    RewriteRule ^ %1 [L,R=301]

    # Send Requests To Front Controller...
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I've tried adding this to root's .htaccess following an answer on stackoverflow

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
     <IfModule mod_negotiation.c>
         Options -MultiViews
     </IfModule>

     RewriteEngine On
     Rewritebase /public/
     # Redirect Trailing Slashes...
     RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]

     # Handle Front Controller...
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
     RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
 </IfModule>

 <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^public/
    #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L,QSA]
 </IfModule>

but still no luck.

I'm sure it's apache's configuration problem but I have no idea on how apache configuration work

I need help, did I miss something?
