I mean can’t they just audit a version that doesn’t have a backdoor/snoops. Verifying against silicon is probably very hard.

How do you want to verify a RISC core not doing something funny?

Hear me out. There is this amazing concept of not doing something you don’t like. Yeah most people don’t know this, but you can indeed just not play games you don’t like.

I see the appeal for the package manager for a lot of things, but space got so incredibly cheap and fast that duplication is way less of a deal than the effort to make stuff work the traditional way. But im not a real linux user. I don’t like tinkering, I want to download something and it works. And the amazing thing is we can have both. If people like spending time to package something be my guest.

The funniest interaction I had recently. I downloaded a program that isn’t in my package manager or had any sort of flatpack/appimage so I downloaded it as a deb and it didn’t run because of some dependency. So I could clone the git and build it from source which might have worked, but I was too lazy to. So I just downloaded the windows exe and ran it through wine, which worked flawlessly.

But I like my applications years out of date and I think its good that every distro has to spend manhours on packaging it individually.
