Or only run Linux? * * (any source available OS)

  GP says not to run anything you haven't looked at yourself for the most part, paraphrasing. I doubt anyone has self audited all the software and drivers going into a desktop Linux distro. The point is, at some point you stop digging

    Desktop Linux distros have package maintainers and companies behind them like RedHat or Canonical.

    GP says not to publish anything you haven't looked at (or OKed by appeal to authority). Publishing should be a higher standard than running.

    > GP says not to run anything you haven't looked at yourself for the most part, paraphrasing. That is a highly inaccurate paraphrase of what I said. You can tell it's inaccurate because I'm specifically suggesting that end users should be able to trust apps on the App Store without auditing the apps ourselves, as long as we trust the app authors, and that app authors should bear responsibility for what they redistribute.
