The problem is not near enough projects support reproducible builds, and many that do aren’t being regularly verified, at least publicly.

Yea because I tested it myself. Nobody else seems to care, and if they did, I would think there would be a public way to see regular test results regardless.

I know this exists for some projects, but somehow nothing privacy-sensitive

What I do is use the “Arch Linux Archive” repo and set it to a specific date, which has a snapshot of all the packages from that time. That way I don’t have to update all the time but can still install packages whenever I want. When I feel like updating then I just increase the date in the mirror URL. In pacman.conf you would set it like so: Server=https://archive.archlinux.org/repos/2024/08/30/$repo/os/$arch

153 binaries? where?

That is true, but also nobody is doing it. Just like nobody is verifying Signal’s “reproducible builds”.

Batteries do not explode, they burn.

because search engines exist

Several solutions have already been posted in here, please do not try to act authoritative when you don’t know the answer. We already saw you asked what VNC is.

just be aware that there’s only one user and it’s root

$700 for an N100 tablet? Yikes. I can’t imagine they would sell enough to stay in business.
