i put more thought into this afterwards and i agree. you're correct. have some sats.
each of the particular packages above include the underlying operating system along with the applications.
raspibolt, ministry of nodes, and 402 payment required's guides are the only ones that come to mind which help the end-user through the process of building their own node post-OS install.
if i recall correctly, all three verify signatures and checksums throughout the process.
right,, but do any of those tutorials use the software packages from these third part middle men?
My belief is that they are using/downloading/installing the software(s) directly from the source.

nope. those guides carry the user through obtaining packages from the source (eg., github), importing and verifying dev keys, and verifying sha256 checksums.
