I have an older 14" HP Probook 440 with Intel core I3-4000M, 1TB

forth between Debian and Fedora, I settled upon Debian 12.7 with the
Cinnamon desktop, for several reasons. However, there is one question I
have regarding Debian. How do I get another repository for more apps?
Or, how do I get certain apps, such as: Bible Time, KeePass, VLC Media
Player, Audacity?
If you selected a mirror during the installation then you should already have all the main repos. If you did not, you will only have the installer. If you paste the following lines into the /etc/apt/sources.list file you will have all of the official Debian Repos using the deb.debian.org repo.

Also you will want to comment out the line for the CD/DVD installer.Happy HackingTim--
