   Qdiskinfo install question

   I want to install this, but it's not in the software manager. According   
   to AI this is what I need to do..   
      
   For Linux (Ubuntu, Debian-based systems):   
      
   1.  Open a terminal window: on your computer.   
   2.  Add the repository: You will need to add a PPA (Personal Package   
   Archive) or a similar repository to your system.   
   A command like sudo add-apt-repository ppa:your-repo/qdiskinfo might be   
   used.   
   3.  Update your package list: Run the command sudo apt update to refresh   
   the list of available packages.   
   4.  Install QDiskInfo: Install the package using sudo apt install qdiskinfo.   
   5.  Launch QDiskInfo: After installation, you can run the program by   
   typing qdiskinfo in the terminal.   
      
   So I need to know if it's safe to do this? ie. add the PPA repository.   
   I'm running LM 22.2   
      
   Thanks for the help.
