You are already trusting the maintainers of your distro by running Software they compiled, if you installed anything via the package manager. So it's about the number of people.

- sofixa 3y agoThis only applies to software distributed by your distro. For something as novel as Ollama, I severely doubt it's made it into anything other than the most bleeding edge(Arch and co). You'll have to wait a few years to get it into mainline Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. and of course it will be at a set version.
- n_plus_1_acc 3y agoDebian considers this a feature. Choose a distro that fits your needs.
- rekado 3y agoWith reproducible builds you get to challenge the binaries provided by your distribution. See <https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-challenge.html https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Invoking-guix...> for an example.
