    Yes! And everything is based on hashed source code - this guarantees long-term reproducibility, avoids vendor-lock-in with proprietary binaries and drivers (and that’s why some companies hate it), but above all makes much easier to inspect what is in a package.

      Interesting, unfortunately I still rely on proprietary binaries but I could try it on a secondary device. Reproducibility is one of the reason I chose to learn NixOS.

        Yeah you can go with Nix then.

        But it is not by chance that Linux is based on Open Source hardeare support. The alternative is something like MacOS.
