It's, er, "funny" how people used to make fun of `curl | sh` because of how lame it was, and now you have it everywhere because Rust decided that this should be the install.

There's a recent rust available in Fedora. That's what I use.

You can also install rustup via your package manager and then use it as usual to manage your Rust installations. Though I guess in most cases, a single moderately recent Rust installation works just fine. But it's useful if you want/need to use Rust nightly for example.

What do you mean? Linux has multiple excellent packaging solutions, apt/dpkg, yum, PKGBUILD/pacman

If a developer can't be arsed to package their software, it's not the Linux community's fault
