Linux beginners should not be installing random programs from random places, they should stick with programs that come with their distro. To do otherwise is to court disaster, for many reasons. As the parent comment points out, if you install a "rouge application" it can do bad things. The distro has vetted all the programs it supplies and until the new Linux user knows better those are the programs he should stick with.
Remember, Linux is not like Microsoft Windows. It comes with all the programs you need.
