Which? Linux or Kubuntu?

Ubuntu & Kubuntu are almost entirely built from GNU software.

If you are running Kubuntu,. you are looking at it.

*NO!* Do NOT add any distribution's repositories to another distro, ever!

I recommend Synaptic. It's not a KDE program but it's the best I know.

Don't.

If you are a beginner, don't. Not at all, not ever. Do not do this.

Don't worry about it just don't do it.

No. Those are commands.  They are alternatives to Muon or whatever.

You don't need repos. All the repos you need are built in.

You never ever need these. Do not install software from disk into Linux, ever.

Leave them alone.

Quit the program, do not change anything.

This is not where to begin.
