@denzilferreira@techhub.social absolutely not true. Nothing short of very advanced security configuration prevents you from running any executable file from anywhere as long as you don't want to write into protected system directories.
And nothing prevents you from not doing that, either, so you can have your walled garden "security" if you so wish ...
