Best way to install packages

[ian-weisser]

Once i add the repositories and install Brave, i must keep those repositories so that it continues to apply updates, etc. Right?
If i delete them once Brave is installed, i assume it wont update anything, is that correct?

That is accurate. Kudos for understanding the difference between a software package vs. the source of that package.

And i would also like to know if there is any way to know which repositories to trust.
For example, we know that Brave is something serious and there isnt much doubt in its repositories, but is there any tip or trick to be more secure?

Trust is always a personal judgement. You must investigate a source and decide for yourself if you trust their software on their system.
You are already doing it: You trusted Ubuntu enough to try it. You trust us enough to ask our advice.

Security is a set of good habits.

Hi Ian! Im learning step by step.

And i understand what you mean, you should always analyze the repositories you want to add and where they come from.
Make sure they are trustworthy and offer guarantees, such as Flatpak/Flathub, Brave, etc.

Thank you very much for your contribution.

I totally agree.

At first i didnt know or trust Flathub at all, for example.
But after doing some research and reading your opinions, i think its a reliable repository and you can add without any problems.
As long as you install verified applications and those whose developers are verified.

Thank you very much for your contribution.
