A few thoughts on 6.0

[Şerban S.]

Some of us non-newbies prefer PPAs to snaps or even Flatpaks. Perhaps in future releases, a few PPAs (like ubuntuzilla) could be included and enabled so users can get Firefox, Seamonkey, etc from Synaptic would be cool.

Hi!

Various people, use various apps. Including certain PPAs over others, would lead to an endless debate.
I use the following code to add my PPAs:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Adding Tony George's repo for UKUU, TimeShift, Aptik Migration Tool, battery, Conky Manager, etc.:
echo "Adding Tony George.s repo for UKUU, TimeShift, Aptik Migration Tool, battery, etc...."
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa -y
echo "Done!"
echo "============================================================"

# Adding repo for Martin Baert's SimpleScreenRecorder:
echo "Adding repo for Martin Baert.s SimpleScreenRecorder..."
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maarten-baert/simplescreenrecorder -y
echo "Done!"
echo "============================================================"
# Adding repo for OpenShot 1.4.3 and OpenShot 2.x.
echo "Adding repo for OpenShot 1.4.3..."
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/ppa -y
echo "Adding repo for OpenShot 2.x..."
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/libopenshot-daily -y
echo "============================================================"
echo "              Updating Repository Information..."
echo "============================================================"
echo ""
sudo apt-get update
echo ""
echo "Done!"
echo "============================================================"
sudo apt install {list of apps, space separated}
echo "Done!"
echo "============================================================"

This way, you can speed up the adding of the PPAs, using the CLI. I used Synaptic before, but it takes too long.
Now, assuming that you saved the script as "AddPPAs.sh" in /home/yourhomename, you go to terminal and launch the following (this is a sample!):
Remember to change the file attributes to "executable" (775) before invoking the command.

Code:

sudo /home/yourhomename/AddPPAs.sh

It will take somewhere around one minute or so.

I wrote this script because it annoyed me to do this line by line on CLI and then install custom apps manually with Synaptic. So I tested the script to do all in one single CLI command line. The full script, installs about 80 apps of my choice so, it saves me from a lot of stress.

So, if you want to change it accordingly, do so and test it. I use it mostly on fresh installs (like when LL 6.0 was released).

Best regards!
