Yes, but also I would hope that if you have the autonomy to install linux you also have the autonomy to look up an unknown command before running it with superuser privileges.
I'm around 20 years Linux user and I'm still installing various soft by curl bashing a script from their site.

At least it doesn't start with sudo, lol.
