Ubuntu

First, update existing packages:

# Update apt and snap packages
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo snap refresh

# If Flatpaks installed, update them
flatpak update

PPA packages

A PPA (Personal Package Archive) is a repository hosted on Launchpad (Ubuntu’s platform) where developers or contributors can publish software packages. They are used for getting newer versions of software or software not in official Ubuntu repos.

My PPA list:

# Add PPA repositories of those packages
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zhangsongcui3371/fastfetch
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:o2sh/onefetch
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:font-manager/staging
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer

# Update system's repositories and install those packages
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y fastfetch onefetch font-manager grub-customizer

Snap Packages

sudo snap install pdftk

Flatpaks

I prefer Flatpaks over Snaps wherever possible

• First install flatpak and set up flathub repository:

  sudo apt install flatpak
  sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://dl.flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
  flatpak install flathub
  

• Then install all the flatpak apps:

  flatpak install --assumeyes \
    org.libreoffice.LibreOffice \
    com.jgraph.drawio.desktop \
    com.obsproject.Studio \
    com.github.johnfactotum.Foliate \
    md.obsidian.Obsidian \
    com.usebruno.Bruno \
