retvrn to downloading mysterious .exes on the internet and running them
I download .debs all the time off this or that GitHub.
Not before chmod +x 'ing them first!
Are you telling me I'm not just supposed to type sudo apt install ./thing-that-i-wanna-install?
That's basically what I do on Linux anyway except you have to give the install permissions and occasionally to tar -xyzabc and then build something and then add it to your path and then create a shortcut and then give it an icon.
