I only discovered this recently, and it’s very handy.
Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk. You can always download the scripts, inspect them and run locally if you so choose.

There is no functional difference to piping a script vs running an AUR or other user repository install.
How do you “undo” whatever that script did?
In the case of these ones you just remove the LXC/VM it created.
Neat. Now you have a snowflake install. How do you upgrade it?
I’m pretty sure for most of them you just type
updateand it will update.Upgrade what? The LXC/VM you just removed because of a wonky script?
You went on with this for way too long, my guy. We get it, you don’t like the helper scripts.
Did you purposefully misunderstand me? How did you not know that I meant “how do you update the thing you installed with a rando shell script” and not “how do you update something after removing it”?
You go into the LXC’s console and type
update, or use whatever package manager is available in the LXC.
