> So here I noticed a major difference in how Homebrew seems to work compared to Arch Linux for example. On Arch Linux applications are built from source code centrally instead of relying on binaries from a vendor.

Homebrew also builds from source, but it uses cached builds they call bottles. I believe other package managers that build from source also used cached builds, I don’t know about Arch.

Strange, I had multiple Homebrew builds that took a dmg from some central place, even open-source software like mpv and (my own) DDNet.
