Ask HN: How to deal with security implications of running/installing projects?

Have you tried VirtualBox? That’s my go-to for running un-trusted code. Start with a clean VM/fresh install, and don’t put any secrets in it.

Have you considered Qubes OS, https://qubes-os.org? It is more secure than Xen, which it relies on, https://www.qubes-os.org/security/xsa/#statistics.
