apt VS goxlr-on-linux

And if that's not enough, you yourself seem to have been responsible that exactly this change was added to apt. If I may refresh your memory: https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1 It even links to upstream Debian work mentioning exactly this method: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/196

And no matter how hard it is, if it's possible to break it, someone will find their way to completely breaking the system. Look at what Linus had to do to break his Pop!_OS install - go to the terminal (which already renders it far out of reach for the average user), run sudo apt install steam, and ignore a giant error. And that wouldn't work anymore anyway, because Pop now uses a version of APT that completely forbids breaking the system unless specifically configured to allow it - so there is now an extra step in there, telling APT not to preserve pop-desktop.

This isn't locking it down. This is about providing sensible defaults like I mentioned before. For power users, the control is still there. It's easy enough to create the `/etc/apt/break-my-system` file so that you can shoot yourself in the foot if you wanted to. This is not similar to what ChromeOS or Android is doing at all.

ah, I thought you mean https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1

- Improve the GUI package manager error message: https://github.com/pop-os/shop/pull/302 - Make the apt message more explicit and make the bypass much harder: https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1

https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1/files Here is the code change. Note line 311.

They have already committed a fix that improves things dramatically.

And they already issued a "fix" to prevent people to easily "break" it.

And their fix for the issue Linus had is downstream only. Not a word said about working with Debian on this.

The install script that alleges support of goxlr is not officially supported in Manjaro and not available from AUR and does not appear to be working too well https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/issues

He was trying to install goxlr on linux. It's nothing official, just a hack written by two people to make some unsupported hardware device work on linux.

These commands must be executed in the console. To do this, open the terminal, paste the following lines and press enter: wget https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/raw/main/install.sh sudo chmod +x ./install.sh sudo ./install.sh

curl https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/raw/main/install.sh | sh

The goXLR script/Github repo that was featured? They added clearer noob-resistant instructions for how to download an execute the script. https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/commit/45fbb38c2b18e2c0f9f99ce4d47ecfebcb7d562a

Yes: https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux/commit/45fbb38c2b18e2c0f9f99ce4d47ecfebcb7d562a

On a positive note https://github.com/GoXLR-on-Linux/goxlr-on-linux updated their README.md

To be fair, if you go to the github page of that goxlr-on-linux repo and look at the hyperlink to the "install.sh" in the file listing, it does look like a url to download the actual script:
