      Ah yes, downloading builds from unvetted third parties and running their installers as root. Truly the Linux way.

          People can also use the Nix package manager on any distro, and run their apps using nix-shell, so that they don’t need to install as root.

        and this is different to windows how …?

        u do realize that u can (and should) read the PGKBUILD file? and check the git url which it’s cloning. or check the sha if its a binary package.

        Clicking yes on the windows prompt for elevated rights for the installer to move things forward. Truly the Windows way.

        People don’t even read the prompts anymore, clicking yes as soon as it appears. So much better.
