with that being the case, correct me if I’m wrong, but your pitch is that users should trust your manually compiled and maintained commands to install things because you’re guaranteeing that the binaries being installed by your commands are from official sources, and that is better (in at least some cases) than cached binaries from something like nixpkgs, where the trust we are asked to give is that the cache is built correctly from source.

right, that’s what nix does if you build from source

Genuine question: Why would I use this as opposed to Nix? Between nixpkgs and the NUR, there are an insane amount of packages available, and you can build everything from source if you wish.

yeah, this is just physics. To overly simplify, swamp coolers alone cannot move the indoor climate to a comfortable state if the baseline temperature is above 40 deg C, even if there is 0 water in the air to start with. They can still help in certain climates, but require air conditioning or significant air movement to compensate.
