Install it with: wget -qO- https://omakub.org/install | bash

No, won't execute scripts from people which know basically nothing about security...

Is " git clone https://github.com/basecamp/omakub.git ~/.local/share/omakub && source ~/.local/share/omakub/install.sh " any better for you?
have you seen the script? It's super intrusive and reconfigures your entire system, including personal config files.

The usual argument against curl|bash scripts is that they don't respect program boundaries, may do unknown system configuration that would affect other programs, and could be impossible to remove.

And "initial system setup" scripts like this one do all those things _on purpose_.

Well, you run it on a fresh install, so it's not like you'll have any data worth keeping.
