It appears you own your config. What happens when you do an update && upgrade? Could things get out of sync? I'm not saying this is bad. As for me I do not have the skills to mess with the install. I use apt install and apt update and apt upgrade ... nothing too fancy. On 2024-12-0

I like Flatpak personally, it feels a bit less platforms specific (IE snap) nd works really well. appimage is not bad, but is not really a platform-wide feeling solution, more a distributor-centric option. dock is containers and not the same deal and will easily reside along the above. Docker incl

As a PHP developer I ran into backporting sometime ago - back while CentOS was still around. I host with a friend that owns a hosting company. He has been extremely reluctant to install anything not in the repository. I think he was looking for stability. I only use what is in the repositor

I am curious if anyone has a more general solution to PPAs on debian. It is my understanding that PPAs are not something you can in general use on debian, only ubuntu derivatives. I believe many debian people nowadays opt to use flatpak, docker, and appimage for their more user-facing softwares.

So installing a PPA under Debian has a few more jumps to it. https://linuxconfig.org/install-packages-from-an-ubuntu-ppa-on-debian-linux And they appear to have the keys you need listed in that Blog post. On Sun, Dec 8, 2024 at 4:05 PM Snyder, Alexander J via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.ph

For languages that evolve far faster than the OS releases (especially Debian) I'd suggest using the language specific installer rather than a Debian PPA. They tend to be better embraced by the language community. Examples: * Python * pyenv * uv * NodeJS * nvm * Ruby * rvm - Austin On S

Have I mentioned how much I vastly dislike Debian?! I think so but anyhoo ... I can't seem to install this PPA repository. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 with "Raspberry Pi OS" (formerly Raspian) -- which is secretly Debian Bookwork (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS) under the covers. I'm trying to install Py
