Install the Latest Dev Tools on Pop!

            ⚡ The short answer. Yes, deb.griffo.io works on Pop!_OS. 61 developer tools install with plain apt on Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS and Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, with the same setup command as Debian and Ubuntu: it reads UBUNTU_CODENAME from /etc/os-release and asks for the matching suite, noble on Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS.
        

Pop!_OS is System76's Ubuntu LTS-based distribution, and a common pick for developer workstations. Its archive follows the Ubuntu LTS underneath, so the developer tools it ships are the versions that Ubuntu release froze. deb.griffo.io serves the current upstream release of each tool below, built for that same Ubuntu base.

🔍 Which suite your release gets

Release	Built on	Suite	Tools available
Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS	Ubuntu 24.04 LTS “Noble Numbat”	`noble`	61
Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS	Ubuntu 22.04 LTS “Jammy Jellyfish”	`jammy`	59

Pop!_OS keeps Ubuntu's codename in /etc/os-release, so the setup command resolves to noble on Pop!_OS 24.04 and jammy on 22.04 with nothing to change. A Pop!_OS release built on Ubuntu 26.04 gets resolute the same way.

📦 Add the repository

Step 1: Add the repository & key

Run the commands

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt $(. /etc/os-release; echo ${DEBIAN_CODENAME:-${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}}) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update

install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt $(. /etc/os-release; echo ${DEBIAN_CODENAME:-${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}}) main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update

🆓 There is an always-free mirror. deb-free.griffo.io serves packages free forever, no account, no subscription, at most 2 months behind upstream, security fixes immediately. It currently carries cliamp, Ghostty, lazydocker, Oh My Posh, Uncloud and Zed; any other tool can be enrolled on request.

Step 2: Install any tool

sudo apt install -y neovim ripgrep fzf

apt install -y neovim ripgrep fzf

To check what the command will pick on your machine before running it: . /etc/os-release; echo ${DEBIAN_CODENAME:-${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}}. It should print one of the suites in the table above.

❓ Common questions

Do these packages conflict with the COSMIC or System76 repositories?

No. The tools here are developer tools that neither System76 nor Ubuntu repackages at current versions, and every package is versioned with a ~griffo suffix, so if an official package of the same version exists apt prefers the official one.

Is deb.griffo.io an official Pop!_OS repository?

No. It is an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo, not affiliated with Pop!_OS. Every package is built automatically from the official upstream release, the packaging is open source on GitHub, and the archive is GPG-signed.

Does it cost anything?

The repository is a subscription (€15 a year or €150 once) with a free trial. A free mirror, deb-free.griffo.io, serves a smaller set of tools at a delay, with the same setup on this distro.

How do I remove the repository?

Delete /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list and /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg, then run sudo apt update. Tools you installed stay until you apt remove them.
