There's nothing dangerous about the PPA. Just use that and be happy with it or download the .deb from their GitHub and use that.
ohok but where is the deb pack ? on that github there is only that ppa thing:

Ubuntu / Linux Mint / elementaryOS / Pop!_OS / Zorin OS

Starting with 20.04, OpenRazer is available from the official repositories. However, you may need to install our package if your device was added in a newer version.

elementaryOS users need to install a prerequisite first:

sudo apt install software-properties-gtk

To install the latest release, add this PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openrazer/stable

Or for latest development builds:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openrazer/daily

After adding the PPA, install the packages:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openrazer-meta

If you get dependency errors when trying to install the driver packages, please make sure that you have enabled the “universe” repository in Software & Updates.

Am i blind because io really cant find it!

Hi Linuxer. This and considering your question in the previous article for fheroes2, maybe it's time to think about installing another linux distro that's more open and community/standard friendly than Ubuntu? I don't mean this in any kind of disrespectful or mean way, Ubuntu is (was) known to be user friendly and most supported distro, but the last few years they went their own route with snaps, are downright hostile to flatpak and are obviously no longer trying to support their user base like they used to, so maybe it's time to switch to one of the many available alternatives. I suggest looking at Mint, Manjaro or Fedora...since you are already familiar with Ubuntu, Mint would probably be easiest to jump into. It uses apt as package manager and supports flatpak out of the box. I honestly think this will make setting up openrazer, fheroes2 and plenty of other open source software mentioned on this site much easier for you. Good luck!
umm nope those never worked for me thats why i use ubuntu. for example fedora didnt even play youtube videos or twitch. can there be a snap package thats all

October 23 Steam Survey: Simplified Chinese rises, Linux and macOS decline

Quoting: pleasereadthemanual
Quoting: dziadulewiczThis survey appears not very useful until we get some absolute numbers. Also the "other" section includes probably Linuxes and then also Chrome OS is definitely Linux but is often left out from Linux share.

"Linux has nearly half of the desktop OS Linux market. It would be twice as much if people could stop arguing about who counts and who doesn't".

Well, even Google refers to "Linux" as something separate from ChromeOS: https://chromeos.dev/en/linux/setup [External Link]

I don't know what the difference is exactly, but Google seems to think there is one.
Look like google just abuse linux for their own but not even a credit
