Is it safe to install Rust from the distro repos?

@Hyolobrika Rustup is the preferred way TBH. I've used distro-vendored Rust before but installing optional components didn't work out well.

I'm using QubesOS so that's complicated and possibly insecure

@Hyolobrika Yes, and imo this is the correct way. I avoid rustup whenever possible

@Hyolobrika Looks like they rely on RPM packages. Rustup is 'insecure' in the way you could install a broken or backdoored toolchain but their repo relies on official sources. I can still see optional components like RLS being an issue.
