[...] You can install via the PPA.... BUT ** Know that PPA's can and at some point may break updates....
The manual has good to info to know for adding/removing.. https://www.freecinema2022.gq/manual/software.html#ppa
Good luck

I have some PPAs. Sometime, indeed, for various reasons, they fail to update. It's very easy to proceed with the update. You just follow the error log instructions: uncheck the PPA that failed the update and check it back after update. A few clicks, nothing to delete. Just postpone the update from the server that created the problem. Smile
Usually, small Apps lead to this, such as Grub Customizer.
Sometimes it's just a "server down" small window of time so, reviewing the status of the server after a while, might be useful. Smile
Also, might be useful to check the development stastus. If the App was abandoned, might be better to leave unchecked the PPA.
There are situations when you need to use a PPA instead of the official repository.
Yesterday I went into trouble with Inkscape. Just refused to copy a selection I needed to copy in a different file. It crushed all the way. That is weird since I have 16 GB of RAM and 4 nucleuses and 8 threads. So resources, were out of question.
I went to the site and saw that there was "a new version". Actually, it is the 1.0 and I thought I had it installed. I checked the version and it was 0.92.1.
I added the PPA and there we are, the bug was solved! Smile
However, I have to keep in mind that it may break the updates someday... Wink Like the others, in fact...
It never happened in the latest 18 months or maybe more (I just forgot), but it happened in the distant past so, I learned how to handle this. Smile

Best regards and happy Lite-ing! Big Grin
