The main thing is, DO NOT INSTALL anything other than what your package manager offers. Installation is automatic and all dependencies are taken care of by the manager.
Anything downloaded separately (like Oracle Java) will be a massive security hazard, and unless you are proficient with fixing Linux code, avoid it like the plague.


You don't trust Oracle, or is something else going on that I am unaware
of? One of the reasons I installed Linux (on the side) was to have a
"sandbox" to run Java applications that I don't have to trust.
