   I have installed quite a few packages from .ppa/s. I agree that one   
   should be 'wary' about doing that. You are 'guessing' as to the 'health'   
   of doing that; but once you have decided somehow that the source is OK,   
   it is more appropriate than trying to install a .deb that belongs to a   
   different distro.   
      
   Mint 22.2's repo/s are based on Ub 24.04 Noble Numbat; the idea behind   
   an appropriate .ppa is that it is compiled on the same Ub as your LM.

   When you use Panda Jim's (aka ubuntuhandbook1) .ppa repo, it /does/ have   
   a matching package for 24.04 NN.  A plus for the PJ packages is that he   
   has a long list of packages he has provided for his .ppa:

   I don't agree that 'it is the same' to go get a Debian package for an Ub   
   based distro; Ub repo/s are Ub; Deb repo/s are Deb.
