This tutorial explains how you can enable your Deepin GNU/Linux version 20 upwards on your computer (codenamed Apricot) to install more software. This done by setting up the repository (central of software on the internet) so the user has the correct configuration. The result is you can later search, download, and run software you wish on your Deepin computer. You are required to be able to edit text in administrator mode to practice this. For experienced persons, you may want to go to Sources.list section right away.

The professional free graphic design software Inkscape released version 1.0 few moments ago for all computer operating systems. Now Ubuntu users ask how to install it on Ubuntu and also on other GNU/Linux distros. Fortunately, we have a standard way to install it, and alternatively you can choose other method as you wish including portable and the 32-bit architecture versions. For all users in general I recommend more to try the AppImage version as it is the easiest one. Enjoy!

If you find your download is slow from a certain Ubuntu mirror, you can change your download source to another mirror. This change is usually necessary if your place is too far to the download source (or, if the network latency is too high). This article discusses how to do it with example from original server (in United States) to a mirror (in Indonesia). You may choose either one of two ways explained below. This is applicable for all Ubuntu versions including 18.04.

This beginner's guide Part 3 talks about Ubuntu repository address settings in sources.list. By learning this article you understand what is sources.list and how to setup it according to your needs. In Ubuntu, APT will know what repository to access and what packages to download primarily based on your sources.list settings. So sources.list is very essential for your APT system. This article explains the terms (4 "channels" and 4 "rooms"), gives many practical examples, how to edit, and adds summary and references at the end. I use Ubuntu 16.10 Yakkety Yak for example in this article. And this article is a continuation of Beginner's Guide Part 2 Basic Apt-get. I hope this part is easy for everyone to understand.

Usually we  can add a new PPA repository by adding it into Software Sources (software-properties-gtk) either from Ubuntu Software Center or Synaptic. But actually we can add same PPA manually. This manual method will help user to easily remove unused PPA later.

Installing and removing a PPA in Ubuntu is easy with GUI. If you usually install and remove a PPA via Terminal, then actually you can do it easier with Synaptic Package Manager. That is why we recommend Synaptic to you before. This article will show you how to do PPA installation in Ubuntu with Synaptic including the explanations.

Synaptic Managing PPA

One of many good things in Ubuntu is there are a lot of free and open source which can be installed easily from repository. The official Ubuntu repository contains applications which predefined release schedule, so there might be some delay publishing an application update from its author to Ubuntu users. GetDeb and PlayDeb repository is an unofficial project which aims to provide the latest version of free open source software for Ubuntu. New software will be available as soon as released by the author. The main difference between GetDeb and PlayDeb is GetDeb offers the common software for Ubuntu while PlayDeb focused on publishing game for Ubuntu with easy install.
