Is it risky to install Metasploit on my Linux host?

Hi all, I receently bought a new laptop and installed Linux (arch). My initial plan was to install some security tools directly on this hosy so I don't have to run a VM everytime I want to practice.

I've been told by Chat GPT that tools like metasploit for example could be risky, and that I should avoid running offensive tools on my primary host. I'd like to get confirmation from security professionals and experienced pentester.

Thanks in advance!
