    Open Source apps tend to be more secure because you can see, change and audit the code.

    There were too many hacking Attacks for normal apps that contain mostly adware or Malware for both brands… As many are greedy and need to have some purpose to pay 100€ for just showing up on the store.

    With sideloading Open Source apps, you can enjoy a life many people call as the only free life you can have. Richard Stallman makes nearly a religion out of it with GNU.

      OSS has its own attack vectors which closed doesn’t, i.e. malicious code snuck into upstream libraries and going unnoticed for weeks, or outright buying popular oss code from devs to abuse.

      Neither is more secure.

        People can figure out what happens on OSS while for closed source, it will be after 5 years still unnoticed
