When using sudo yay it recommends not using sudo. It seems I had two different outcomes from using sudo and then from not using it. Having used it, what effect does this have?

Yes but this doesn't happen. It's a fear that is completely overblown. A lot of people look at the scripts before installing and so should everyone. Takes almost no time to see it's harmless.

Anyone with experience can glance through a install script in a few seconds and see what its doing. It really is very simple.
