Just be aware of what you are installing. And do your best to audit your system regularly. Switching to a bleeding edge distro, and using thebAUr absolutely comes with risks. But it is up to the user to be aware of what they are installing. This goes for any OS. Be aware of what you are installing.

This can happen on any OS you install software willy nilly with no thought behind it.
