MagicMirrorOS, while a cool idea, seems to be unmaintained and quite outdated, to the point where packages on the host system can't be updated easily without expert knowledge.

A warning should be added to the installation method in https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html#magicmirroros to notify users of potential problems and security issues using it.

its not part of the base MagicMirror.

its developed and owned by a user just
like you.

The documentation I linked however IS owned and operated by the MagicMirror core team, is it not?

I dont want to remove that useful information. As we already state on top of the paragraph:

"The following installation methods are not maintained by the MagicMirror² core team. Use these scripts and methods at your own risk."

Maybe its enough to put this into a yellow Attention Box to make it clearer?

i personally hate that sentence, "use at your own risk", given how much time i put into install and upgrade
