    What do you mean by PPA?

    Also: apt-get is intended as low-level APT interface for scripts, just use apt instead. I get why people are confused nowadays, because APT documentation is terrible.

      I thought apt-get was a transitional command made so that the devs could make a breaking change, but now that that is done, its no longer needed
