    People should do that though

    It’s good security practice to use your package manager and if you have to download off the internet then you should build it yourself

      I will with you halfway through with this, here is how I view it.

      If you have little experience with telling between safe sources and sketchy, then yes, stick with the defualt.

      If ypuu know about some safe appstores or repositories then that’s when you could say you are qualified to make thes decisions. Like I know Fdroid is safer and better than the defialt on everyway for the users best interest, but if you dont know your sources then you should not sidelode untill you do know how to make good decisions.

      Not really planning on sacrificing privacy and safety from monopolies by doing that thanks. Not everybody’s threat model is that ridiculous.
