There is no need for source codes in every user's machine. All the devs have it and there are multiple places on the internet that have copies of every repo on GitHub. I used Gentoo for 4 years. It's cool for learning but doesn't really add anything to the user. Even developer users like myself.
Obtainium auto-updates apps for you from APK releases. That's a big deal compared to downloading the files individually.
You think it's a big deal to be able to have obtainium auto-update instead of downloading things individually
But you don't think the benefits of distributed code compilation are a big deal
Bruh
Yep. Absolutely.
Auto-updates do signature checking, so there is no way for platforms to get in the way between the author and the user.
Unless the platform just lies about the signature checking. And don't you ever wonder who compiled your compiler? What about the compiler that compiled that compiler?
Veteran TempleOS users know what they're doing because it doesn't hold their hands.
Veteran Windows and Mac users have no idea what they're doing.
The masses today need enough convenience to do what they need to do, but not enough to keep their brains melting.
Gentoo gets a little closer to balance than TempleOS.
Ubuntu gets a little closer to balance than a Windows or Mac PC.
The thesis and antithesis must synthesize
