What happened?
Trying to follow Debian/Ubuntu distributions installation guide leads to error:
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
after line:
wget -qO - https://packagecloud.io/shiftkey/desktop/gpgkey | sudo apt-key add -
Which leads to public key not being added and later error while using apt update
A proper way to add it (the one that worked for me) would be something along the lines of:
wget -qO - https://packagecloud.io/shiftkey/desktop/gpgkey | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/shiftkey-desktop.asc > /dev/null
