Software

A software is a program that runs on a computing device. It is a set of instructions and tasks.

An operating system is a special kind of software that manages other programs and their resources. It provides a platform for running applications and services.

How to trust?

These are general guidelines when handling software:

• If the code isn't open-source, you can't trust the developer.
• If the code is open-source but you can't compile the program yourself, you can't trust the developer.
• If the code is open-source and you can compile the program yourself, you can trust your eyes.
