Is there any website or sources where I can access to many many repositories list of apps....(like Google PlayStore)?
For example: to be able to download Google Chrome, I have to add:
deb http://google.com to my server list.
I prefer using apt-get rather than app store like the one in Ubuntu, it's faster.
Thank you.

Bank of Repositories?
Re: Bank of Repositories?
You should read Don't break Debian
Personally, I only install software from the Debian repositories.

Wouldn't it be better for you just to continue using Ubuntu —or something similar—which facilitates installing proprietary, nonfree software of that sort? Surely it can be installed using apt too?
DebianStable
Code: Select all
$ vrms
No non-free or contrib packages installed on debian! rms would be proud.

If Ubuntu has already filled this role for you, why not use it?ahiung wrote: I prefer using apt-get rather than app store like the one in Ubuntu, it's faster.
There is currently nothing like it in Debian, the only app(s) that comes close is synaptic and the Gnome Software Center which looks at Debians repos.
There is only one Debian | Do not break Debian | Stability and Debian | Backports

Re: Bank of Repositories?
In addition to what other people have already said about breaking Debian etc., you could also consider using alternative software which can achieve the same goal and already exist in the repository. E.g. for Chrome, just use chromium instead.

Re: Bank of Repositories?
Yes they do have a "bank" of packages,
https://www.debian.org/
is a very large selection.
You can also use your favourite search engine, to search for other sites that offer packages
for Linux, and Debian, or what ever OS you are using ... Are you really using Debian ?
but that does not mean they can be used for Debian,....

NO it is not :Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 51000packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine. Read more...
But in any event, 51000 packages....(like Google PlayStore)?

You don't specify : ""Bank of Repositories?"" there are many sites with lists of repositories,Sent from my Redmi 3S using Tapatalk
