Is it safe to manually download a package from this site and then install the .deb file using apt? Is there anything more secure about using apt to download the package?

    Is there a particular reason you can’t use apt here?

    It’s always preferable to stick with repo packages unless absolutely necessary, because performing a manual install could place your system into an unsupported state or prevent apt from updating it later, which can lead to issues especially if that package is something core like bash.
