Well, initially user might switch to wget -O- ... instead:

sh: 28: curl: not found
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.

... but later this error pops up:

curl: not found

So the bootstrap either needs to ask for one more dependency to be present, or to aggregate popular/possible downloading tools into a shell fn.

More or less fixed via two patches: https://github.com/sskras/.files/compare/ddcb402%5E...fef86b5.

It also would be nice to convert this static line into conditional content: https://github.com/sskras/.files/blob/fef86b57b86c9d066b12e0f88c81c6ec56204df7/.local/bin/boot-home#L54-L56

So not closing yet.
