A currently valid PPA

Is there a currently valid PPA to download Vivaldi by the use of a script, rather than downloading with the browser??
I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 21. -
@ineuw Why would that be needed? There is native DEB for all Debian derivatives.

Just did a new Linux Mint Cinnamon 21 installation and Vivaldi is again missing from the Mint repository. I know that this is not a Vivaldi issue, but perhaps someone can look into it why is it on and off?
it's because many sources are using legacy public keys or none at all.

@ineuw Vivaldi doesn’t provide repositories for any distribution, distribution maintainers are responsible for that. Try this for Mint (haven’t tested it): https://www.linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-vivaldi-browser-on-linux-mint-21-lts/

You just have to download Vivaldi (.deb - file) and install it. It is that simple.
Since then it is shown in your software manager and will be updated according your update settings. -
The content of the replies indicates that the post was mistitled. I always downloaded the latest .deb version file when installing LMC anew. I asked the question because it's the only other way I remembered on how software was distributed and maintained in the past.
I took on the responsibility of maintaining five Linux Mint installations, and wrote a long shell script to install the software needed for my audience. I was hoping to install everything with a single shell script to speed up the process. That is all.
These are public desktops and once in a while, a reinstall is necessary, even if the system is backed up hourly and daily.

@ineuw Interesting idea! Using a single script to install all the programs you want.
I don't know anything about it, but in principle I can imagine that such a script can be created for both PPA installations and .deb installations.
You have to define the programs anyway. So you can add the installation type to each program, right?

Yes, I am still using several scripts, instead of one, as I finalize the order of installation and deal with PPA issues.
