    btw “package manager” is just a way to categorize your “random” execs. plenty of nonsense sneaks in. please still review your exec sources.

      There’s a difference between installing from (hopefully) a trusted source than going to some random website and downloading a fucking executable.

      And I’m not even getting into fake download ads on Google or the multitude of other problems that come along with this style of software installation.

      I mean, generally package managers are hosted by a trusted party that screens execs before making them available. But yeah, still think about where you get your software from.
