See that's is why I hate fdroid. They keep people thinking that just because they cannot compile an app to the same hash, that the app is not open source. The two things have nothing to do with one another.
If that is the standard, Linux itself is not opensource. Because fdroid cannot compile it to their standard. Which is just hilarious.

You are correct, most Linux distros and kernels are not open source. Very fucked up to blame F-Droid for that while you keep lying
The FOSS Linux kernel is open source and there are FOSS Linux distros
Many closed source Linux distros also lie about being open source
And it's often beyond simply changing binary signatures for every build - it's actually including proprietary stuff even in the public repos (but still often trying to gaslight users to call it "open source" without qualifiers)
I didn't say distros or other kernels. I said Linux itself. F-droid cannot compile the core kernel from Linus himself.
