Hi,
Sorry if this is a repeated question.
I have already read viewtopic.php?t=80468 and viewtopic.php?t=133006
But my question is a bit more simple.
On some others distros I was on, I used to download and install the relevant packages and extension pack from https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
I tried:So, it is in not in the default repos.
(I won't really like to play with repos or change them, my rule of thumb always is better stick to defaults.)
So, would it be OK to download from the VirtualBox website and install from the downloaded .deb files?
Would this add the virtualbox repos?
Would I be getting updates automatically?
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I feel in my case or my question is just a bit different from the case in other 2 threads.
UPDATE:
I tried AI Bard/Gemini and it suggested:I though prefer asking the experts.here. Better than AI.
