omakub

Yes. But how is this materially different from most other installers or program extensions running unreviewed arbitrary code that could change at any time for any reason. I don’t really get why this is the straw that breaks the back for some people and suddenly puts them at high alert. Do you do a diff on the .xpi whenever a Firefox extension updates? Yeah we really should, but we don’t. At some point it’s too much overhead to deal with. If you truly wish to review what this does, here’s the github: https://github.com/basecamp/omakub

Is " git clone https://github.com/basecamp/omakub.git ~/.local/share/omakub && source ~/.local/share/omakub/install.sh " any better for you?

For those of you who, like me, aren't going to watch a video: https://github.com/basecamp/omakub > Turn a fresh Ubuntu installation into a fully-configured, beautiful, and modern web development system by running a single command. That's the one-line pitch for Omakub. No need to write bespoke configs for every essential tool just to get started or to be up on all the latest command-line tools. Omakub is an opinionated take on what Linux can be at its best. > Omakub includes a curated set of applications and tools that one might discover through hours of watching YouTube, reading blogs, or just stumbling around Linux internet. All so someone coming straight from a platform like Windows or the Mac can immediately start enjoying a ready-made system, without having to do any configuration and curation legwork at all.
