    I’ve seen people complaining about this for years. I still don’t fully understand how it’s so different from downloading random executables and running them separately. Maybe you could get in trouble if you get a network issue mid way? You can still MITM a file download. Feels like a weird hill to die on.

      The alternative isn’t to download random executables, it’s to use your system’s package manager
