> The problem, for me, is that self-running installers can create a mess that's hard to keep track of.
For reasons my machine with a beefy GPU is stuck on an older set of Nvidia drivers. I've got them pinned with apt. The ollama installer fucked everything up by updating stuff that apparently wasn't pinned. After I had fun cleaning up that fucking mess I found it overwrote my custom systemd service file so I had to go in and fix that.
Curl-to-shell is a bullshit antipattern. I have no interest in going back to the dark days of expanding tarballs to / and hoping for the best.
