ah, ok, i didnt get that context somehow ....

well, as long as you are okay to give microsoft (or any other 3rd party
repo owner) full root access to your system, sure, why not ;)

i personally prefer to not have microsoft, google or slack to have full
root access to my system and rather rely on the confinement features
snap or flatpak provide to prevent any apps from reading my passwords
out of ~/.config or other databases they do not necessarily need to
access ...

:)
