Install Third Party DEB Packages With 'deb get' (Reduces Need For Snaps!)

'deb-get' allows you to install .deb packages published in third party repositories or via direct download. This is especially useful for installing proprietary software that will not be found in the standard repos (like Chrome, Discord, VSCode, etc). It works on Debian, Ubuntu and their derivative distributions.

Your support is very much appreciated. Thanks, guys!

Thank you for covering this. This is something that newbies like me need to learn and understand. So, it's good that you help us learn how to transition from Windows to Linux. And, knowing how to get the software that we'll use, is so very important. Because we just don't have the experience that you have. So, it's helpful you share your learning in this domain.

Technically, Ubuntu is based off of a snapshot of Debian Testing. Not Debian Stable.

Thanks DistroTube. I will be tryin this out in q4OS which is debian 11 and the trinity desktop. Looks like a great addition along with the nala package.

Everyone else in the industry is shifting towards package managers that are part of the operating system.
Linux has this since the 90s, in keeps inventing new and new way to get around package managers

I've been using Linux Mint for a long time now, I love it. For the most part, older packages are not too bad, but there is the odd thing that I have to go and manually download and install if I need the latest version though.

[MFTAQ]

Cool info got it installed on Linux Mint and it works well

OSS Code/VSCodium are true opensource versions of code; the MS VSCode is slightly proprietary but has a great deal of opensource in it otherwise the OSS versions wouldn't exist as they do currently. Don't be afraid there are legal OSS versions. The OSS Code editor is also available for FreeBSD now too (finally). Will be checking out the Deb-get tool as I'm messing with Bullseye right now and it is running very well on my hardware. Thnx for the share!

Great video Derek and nice Jurassic park cup.

Works ok, instead of 4 commands in terminal you put one and install.

This looks like some kind of AUR for Debian based distros which is pretty cool

[rishirajsaikia]

Or just install the nix package manager. It has the newest package and very stable as it contains all the dependencies that the software was made with seperately. Nix package manager doesn't conflict with your distro's package manager at all. Plus, using home-manager would be recommended as updating packages with it is easier and doesn't take too much RAM like nix-env.

Great job done for Debian community by "deb get" thank you very much.

Now I'm using 'Garuda Linux Dragonized', the software is update, have AUR support, Setup Assistant for auto-install popular apps like Libre Office, Audacity. The default skin is beautiful and modern, but if changing skin get a little confused with changes to icons.

[SomeOne-rhso]

O man, Thanks! I already several years search on web some debs and it depends of the luck, now will be much more safer and easy. Some people so much advertise arch_distros but manjaro always drop after some upgrades and endeavour is not what for daily use.

[HishamArgent]

Ubuntu LTS isn't based on debian stable

All of these package managers are just going in circles. Snap/flatpak is the future for anything other than low level stuff. They are improving startup performance everyday.

[SB-qmwg]

If software is hardcoded as funcs in the bash script, do you need to update deb-get to add new software options?

[brads]

Thanks for mentioning this. I can switch away from some flattpak installs

[TheRandomFool]

It would be quite a joke if the installation of this package only adds the alias deb-get as apt-get.

will not work with sid on my computer.
