How to add apt sources from AnduinOS

Description

Referring to AnduinOS-2/build.sh, I created a simple script that can be used to add apt-sources from AnduinOS(https://packages.anduinos.com).

The script create two files

/usr/share/keyrings/anduinos-archive-keyring.gpg
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/anduinos.sources

The following is a brief introduction to the basic usage of this script. For more advanced usage examples, please refer to README.md.

Before using this script, please ensure you understand the associated actions and risks.

This is to prevent unforeseen circumstances from damaging your existing system.

I’m sharing this script purely for learning and reference purposes.

How to convert Ubuntu to AnduinOS

My initial idea was to use this mechanism to convert Ubuntu to AnduinOS.

Theoretically, it’s feasible.

You can also see the script in another discussion thread, used to convert Ubuntu to AnduinOS.

However, I haven’t actually tested it yet,

because I haven’t created a new Ubuntu 26.04 environment for experimentation.

Currently, I only have anduinos-wallpapers installed for testing.

Those interested in exploring this can refer to the Script:AnduinOS-2/mods/05-live-kernel-apps-installer/install.sh ,

which shows which Debian Packages and MetaPackages for AnduinOS are installed.

To further explore the contents of these packages, refer to the Project: AnduinOS-Packages.

Alternatively, we can directly download the Debian Package to explore.

The following example uses anduinos-wallpapers to illustrate this.

Download

run

apt-get download anduinos-wallpapers

It will download a file named anduinos-wallpapers_2.0.0~rc1-2+resolute_all.deb.
