Dear Magic Banana, I knew this might be taboo to ask, but I am an artist
primarily and want repositories that always have the very latest of each of
the creative software I use. Right now, Trisquel's repositories just don't do
that.
if you're fine compromising your freedom, you should just switch to ubuntu.
But Substance, below, seems to have some advice.
I really do all types of art. My recent example is that Inkscape is not the
latest version in the trisquel repo.
Greetings everyone, I have been having trouble adding Ubuntu repositories to
my Trisquel install. I have tried adding it to my sources.list, but it seems
to not be working. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Mixing repos from different distros (or even different versions of distros,
which is what you'd need to be doing in order to be getting different
versions - using the repos of a newer Ubuntu version) is not recommended. If
you make your OS explode it'll be entirely your fault.
You realize

Agree!
out of all the answers i got about this so far, I think this is the best one.

flavored GNU/Linux so no parabola distro for me. i suppose repositories are
really just a convenience and they help with dealing with
I would think that the easiest way to use Ubuntu's repositories is to use
Ubuntu. Besides the likely breakage that's going to occur from trying to add
these repositories to Trisquel, you're going to end up pulling all of your
software from the Ubuntu repositories, anyway. What would you be
Instead adding repositories, download latest software you want in binary or
source, compile it and install.
Probably the best bet. You're giving up the convenience of a repository but
you don't have to rely on Trisquel to provide your software. Some would say
that's one of the biggest reasons to use free software: No one interfering
with the software you chose.
Hold on my friend...
What kind of art of art ? Graphics, music... ?
I can try to answer you. What are you looking for ?
