The fix in commit 40ef289e4c ("Fix shell script in sh/dash (non bash)") changed
== to = in lix-installer.sh, but the hosted copy at
https://install.lix.systems/lix still serves the pre-fix version.

On Debian/Crostini where /bin/sh is dash, the recommended install command fails:

$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install linux --no-confirm --init none
sh: 92: [: x86_64-linux: unexpected operator

The fix just needs to be redeployed.

personally I'd use -eq instead of = so as to make it clear it's POSIX
