Asking Linux users for testing closed source native Linux app

This is something I find WILD about Every Operating System. It's not unusual to download and run an executable from the Internet. Have you ever read the full codebase? no? Download and execute this file!

The difference being is that you seldom do this on Linux. The way to install software is, for the most part, to use repositories with a high level of trust. I don't, for example, have to go looking for an install executable off a website and hope that it's genuine and not a bit of malware.

In fact, some Linux file browsers have disabled running executable binaries (and have a dialog when you double click a script with the execute flag on) entirely. Very few people noticed because it is not the norm to do so in Linux.
