Just follow the instructions here.

+
+ Simply uninstall the kxstudio-repos package with the "purge" option, like so:

+ Due to how Debian packages work, uninstalling a package does not remove its /etc content, as these are treated as system configuration files.
+ We must use the purge option in order to delete such files.
+ Note that this operation will not uninstall or downgrade individual packages.

+I upgraded my OS and can no longer install KXStudio packages
+
+ It is common for Ubuntu (and maybe others) to disable or even automatically modify external repository files when upgrading to a new version.
+ This leads to the KXStudio repositories no longer being setup properly.

+ Simply uninstall (using "purge", see above) and reinstall the KXStudio repositories again.

You can, but it will likely not be answered. The KXStudio repositories focus on audio plugins, not general applications.

Checking for denormals on each buffer cycle is not cost-free for the CPU, but we can setup things so that they don't even happen to begin with!
This can be achieved by activating specific build flags (-ffast-math -mfpmath=sse) and set a few CPU flags in the audio thread.
Some plugins include such flags as part of their build rules, but not all.
- Packages in the KXStudio repos have all these flags active (all plugin builds, plus audio threads set the needed CPU flags),

Something to note is that distributions like Debian, which want to keep support for old hardware, cannot enable this.

This is for protection of those running the KXStudio repositories in rolling-release style distributions.
An update from the distribution which does not follow KXStudio rules is a potential source of issues (see the points above).
Better to have something stable that you know won't break during updates.
