Yes, all distros come with repos preconfigured. Nothing is stopping you from disabling those repositories and enabling your own.
Or, you can always still compile from source.

That doesn't matter because it's not the default, dummy.

One can disable Amazon™ from Ubuntu, but people still don't use it on principle that it included it in the first place.

What is this 2009?

Epic. Call me when you can't install some third party software from their website because your computer is only allowed to run the (((apps))) downloaded from Windows Store.

Holy shit winfags are grasping for straws lately.

What does this shit have other than making me waste my time compiling kernel options nobody understands for fifteen hours?

>>60008141
Traditional Windows, like XP and 7, don't have this, so stop moving the goal posts.

>>60008170
I don't even use Gentoo but man, your stupidity is showing.

Wrong. The only repositories included by default are those that are trusted by the distro maintainers - meaning, the only reason not to trust the repositories is if you don't trust the operating system in the first place. And if you don't trust the OS, then you should consider ANY software running on it to be compromised, no matter where it comes from. And the repositories are just an option, you're free to go on your browser and downlload things the Windows way. And Windows is moving towards having anything being in an app store anyways.
