For virtualbox i tend to start here https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads

but .deb is a native debian, and therefore ubuntu package type. and you can usually just doublecliock on your (hopefully trustworthy) deb package.

Hi,

I have installed Kubuntu 22.04 and an getting familiar with it and have
some questions.

I was researching how to install Oracle's VirtualBox and the way is to
go to the K-Menu and do a search.  It comers up with a .deb package.  I
was able to install it no problem and I can launch it from the K-Menu.

1) Is the .deb a different repository?  When I do a package upgrade does
it get upgraded?  How do I uninstall if I want?

2) I want to install the Extension, as suggested.  The docs I am
following says click File > Preferences > Extensions > Add a new
package.

I do not have extensions in the menu.

Any help much appreciated,

Keith
