If you're installing it like this, don't you prevent it being updated automatically by the software centre (or whatever Ubuntu calls it). I seem to remember that being the case with Fedora, and not being able to update it with DNF.

Hi, yes, there is a parenthetical note about it in the introduction — it's true that the admin will have to manage updates by themselves if they would like to continue to leverage the most recent version available via downloading from source :)
