 @663e5b60  Ooh, don't forget app images. 
 @ed85e5af And flatpak. As I said, nothing is safe. 
 @663e5b60  Of course.  My comment was more of a "Get off my lawn" regarding those.

I'm becoming so surly as I age. 
 @ed85e5af I'm kind of on both sides of this. I definitely default to sudo apt install, but I also see benefits to the containerizing and sandboxing of apps. What's important to keep in mind, I think, is that the isolation of these apps is, at best, a mitigation of the threat, not an elimination of it. And at worst, it provides a false sense of security about these app formats.
