In theory, code signing is a positive thing, and probably should be part of Linux too. In practice, it becomes an expensive paywall, that often pushes developers to make web applications instead (browsers don’t have to check for code signage), both on Mac and Windows.
Closed source is more secure because the viruses can’t see where to get in.

Much confuse. Such convolute. Wow.
