On the other hand, I'm not about to install just anything on my system 
just because I can, or because it's available to me. And it scares me 
even more that all the incompatibilities and 10-year-old low-level 
libraries, with all their potential vulnerabilities, are hidden behind 
all kinds of complex scripting, so that all I have to do is download the 
archive and run the script in order to install something that honestly 
shouldn't work on an OS that is less than 2 years old. The pragmatist in 
me screams "STOP!" at the thought, and screams even louder at the 
thought that I would actually have to pay money for something like this. 
I have nothing at all against paying money for something, but if I'm 
paying for it, it needs to be compatible with the newest libraries and 
OS-level dependencies,, or it must at least be compatible with the 
latest Ubuntu LTS without introducing outdated and obsolete libraries 
that could hose my system, or could allow someone else to gain root 
privileges on my machine. Paying for something doesn't somehow make it 
magically better. This is a quite unfortunate misconception.
