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.

I mean, what do you think the installer is doing anyway?

And what does OP think a ton of commercial installers do? Half of them just download an archive and unpack it.

Yes, exactly the point I was trying to make. curl | sudo bash is just making it obvious what the glossy GUI installer with its dialog boxs and animated progress meters is doing anyway.
