I tested the installation of stremio. I can confirm the issue where clicking "Install" does not actually open the installation site, but the "Run anyway" button.
I didn't use the script, but manually modified the dependencies for the stremio package, and the package installed successfully afterward, also ran sudo apt install -f. However, it did not start when clicking on stremio in the start menu. There were shown libcrypto.so.1.1 errors:
"Error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I had to install libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb as well, and then it worked.
However, someone on the Linux Mint forum pointed out that installing this old library poses a security risk and recommended using LD_PRELOAD for that library, or better the flatpak version. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about it to be able to assess the risk. Personally, I'd rather use the Flatpak to be on the safe side if I wanted to use stremio.
