List some repositories for Ubuntu

Not all software for Ubuntu we find it available within the official Ubuntu repositories, that is why we have to make use of 3rd party repositories either because a program is in its most current version or simply because it is not in the official repository.

Before the arrival of the new version of Ubuntu 17.10, if you did a fresh install, the system needs to be reconfigured and there are several things to do, in this case I leave you a list of the most popular repositories for Ubuntu.

Within this small list that I share with you, I leave you the most used repositories within Ubuntu.

WebUpd8 PPA

WebUpd8 is definitely one of the best known on the web for providing the most popular applications and having them updated quickly. In this repository we can find java, audicius, caffeine, among others.

To add this repository we will open a terminal and type the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 -y

sudo apt update

The Gimp

Even though we have this image editing program in the Ubuntu repository, there is also this other one, which I tested for us faster with updates

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp

sudo apt update

Wine

On the other hand, we cannot leave out, a tool that they will not let me lie but sometime in their experience within Ubuntu they had to use or test, to add it to the system we do it with:

wget https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key

sudo apt-key add Release.key

sudo apt-add-repository 'https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/'

sudo apt-get update

Flatpak

You cannot ignore the handling of flat packages, which already have their dependencies in a single package, which makes it quite attractive, to add it we do it with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak

sudo apt update

LibreOffice

In the same way, it is another application that is already by default in the Ubuntu repositories, but it also has its repository that provides us with the most recent updates.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa

sudo apt-get update

Well then, these would be the most popular repositories on the web and they also cannot be missing from your system, although there are many others, these are already a little more focused on certain applications.
