I’m more of a casual/newbie Linux user and I want to know if a specific Brother model is compatible with it. For reference, it’s the HL-L2465DW monochrome laser printer.

I certainly wasn’t trying to “encourage” anything. I agree, blindly trusting commands is dangerous.
In this context I present a specific explanation of how the install works. This adds to the novice’s knowledge, and allows them to begin to understand what my one-liner does.
I think that without the context of instructions on how to do it manually, yes, you could make the case i’m enabling beginners to form/reinforce bad habits.
As a Linux noob I like your oneliner but I agree with @solxix@pawb.social
A more approachable way to do that would be to use
wgetand then manually runapt installwith the downloaded file. That’s what I’ve been doing. :) Yours is “magic” ;)
