Ubuntu and Debian have mirrors of their apt repositories hosted all around the world by groups, schools, businesses, etc. There is no single point of failure, you grab from the best mirror near you.
- ocdtrekkie 7y agoThat still isn't decentralization: There may be a bunch of mirrors, but there is still a single "source of truth". One entity determines what is acceptable and valid in a repository model, as the entire ability to trust packages you install tends to be on the assumption that entity is making good choices.
