I'm just telling you the facts.

but only providing instructions for.. what, fedora and rhel?

Yes, what, did you want me to provide instructions for everything under the sun? Look at what I wrote, I said "or whatever", I.e. or the equivalent commands on another distro.

And saying that running your package manager from the command line is to "feel like a hacker?"

Lmao you're just confirming you're trying to bait people here.

Fun fact there's a range of distros that don't have proper UIs for their package manager

Ok? What's your point? You'd only install a distro that leans heavily on the terminal if you're the kind of person who wants to rely on the terminal. I don't even know what point you're trying to make lmao

What exactly do you think is inside of those packages?

It varies. But regardless, that's a colossally stupid point. Installing random .exe files you find online also executes scripts.

The point you made was that on Linux the way you install programs is to go online and run random scripts. That is objectively a lie, and now you're backpedaling away from that point.

And you know, Flatpaks do exist and are the standard now.
