Just installed 6.6. There are a few applications I need (Discord, WhatsApp, NordPass) that don't show up in Synaptic. Is there a repo I can add or do I have to download .deb files?

You'll have to go to the website for each company. Generally speaking, company debs are only available from their website. Synaptic has mostly community created software.

Thanks! I installed a few applications via snap as well. Seemed to work fine.
