I get why there are people that don’t like how some installers do this, but this trope is really turning into the “but I don’t even own a TV” of OSS commentary.

Just use the Docker image if you don’t like it. Or get their appliance which actually supports ongoing development.

Maybe I’m just a naive idiot, but I thought her point was not the danger of sudo’ing random shell scripts per se but any sort of “solution” to restore the prior capabilities of a consumer product that required that level of technical acumen.

But every single other reply seems to be either “well yeah obviously read the script first” or “how dumb, just use docker,” so like I said, maybe I’m the dumb one.

I mean its really putting all the onus on the buyer of the product in the hopes that they have technical capabilities or alternatively just stilling all the benefits to the corporate company. Sad state of play.
