     use nala for apt package manager if you're a terminal user.

     @itsfoss Echoing what some others have said,

     - stick to the packages in your distro's package repository.
     - if what you want to install has a 3rd party package repository, add it to your repos and install it with package manager tools
     - if what you want to intall does *not* have a package repository for your distro, *then* consider installing it from Flatpak
     - Don't install random zip files you download from the internet, that's bad windows behavior you should never do.
     - Avoid "snaps", period.
