Updates in Linux are not random third party scripts you find online, why are you spreading this lie?
You go into your app store/software centre and click update. To the user, this is all they see.
If you want to feel like a hacker, or find it quicker, you can open a terminal run sudo dnf update or whatever. That’s still not a random third party script, though.
Lol you’re arguing like you’re an expert but only providing instructions for… what, fedora and rhel? And saying that running your package manager from the command line is to “feel like a hacker?” What a laugh. Fun fact there’s a range of distros that don’t have proper UIs for their package manager, and the vast majority don’t use dnf.
What exactly do you think is inside of those packages? Who made those scripts? You’re running those scripts as root. Is that safe?

Yes, what, did you want me to provide instructions for everything under the sun? Look at what I wrote, I said “or whatever”, I.e. or the equivalent commands on another distro.

Lmao you’re just confirming you’re trying to bait people here.

Ok? What’s your point? You’d only install a distro that leans heavily on the terminal if you’re the kind of person who wants to rely on the terminal. I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make lmao
What exactly do you think is inside of those packages?
It varies. But regardless, that’s a colossally stupid point. Installing random .exe files you find online also executes scripts.
The point you made was that on Linux the way you install programs is to go online and run random scripts. That is objectively a lie, and now you’re backpedaling away from that point.
And you know, Flatpaks do exist and are the standard now.
Bait…at what? What exactly do you think I want from the person I’m responding to other than to make fun of their delusions? I suppose you’re saying it’s not good bait, which Id agree with.
Do you know what is in every script you run as root?

-1/10 bait
Well now you’re definitely saying I’m not bait, so thank you, I agree.
