The problem is there's no universal way to install software across platforms in a secure way.
The closest I've seen is running exes with docker run. Then at least I can somewhat control how much access the exe has to my machine.
- AstralStorm 5y agoDownload a signed repository, verify it (including some code check) and build yourself. It's fewer steps than trusting also some package maintainer or build bot to not be compromised.

One can always manage a lot of VM's manually, but that's complicated enough that one usually only bothers for very specific software, and not everything like what is done in Qubes OS.
