>I don't want to end up with 15 different third party apt repositories

I would love to add 15 different third party apt repositories, I wish more projects used them, you're running whatever binary they give you anyway

I guess this is just another example of how hard it is to please all linux users!



Running a binary in userspace is quite different from giving a third party unconstrained root access to your system though.

To be fair though, with the lack of security and isolation on Linux a malicious binary can already do a huge amount of damage.
