I am new to Fedora, and am happy about it. I installed Fedora 32 and was
offered to "install" third party repositories by the Software

contains the Pycharm IDE software. I have 2 questions:
1. What can you gain from installing from this repository? Considering
this is a Java app, it basically requires its own customized JRE. And
installing and running it (using the author's package) is as easy as
unpacking an archive.
It can be installed system-wide. All the files are managed by the
package manager which lets you cleanly upgrade or remove it later.
2. As a follow up to the first question. What makes this particular
repository special in being included in this list?
I'm curious about that as well.
I am complaining because I installed the app using this repository and
it was crashing, requiring a hard reboot. Running or "installing" this
That seems unlikely. Can you provide more details?
app using the directly downloaded package works better. And installing
using the repository could (probably does) make changes to your system
Java installation.
No, that would be another benefit of using the Fedora packaging. It
will be setup to not mess up any other part of the Fedora installation.
