This sounds really cool but I’ve never heard of it. Can anyone vouch for the safety of the programs?

I have used OPENRA before, it's safe.
It's also open source, so you can go dredge the code yourself if you are really concerned.
Ok, after backing up my computer just in case I tried it out and it’s dope af
Now you're gaming like it's 1996.
It's pretty sick at a lan, because being open source, can just copy paste it to friends machines to do massive brawls.
I wouldn’t even know where to start 😆

Combined Arms brings Command & Conquer and Red Alert action mashed together into a single OpenRA powered game and the 1.0 release is out now.
The 1.0 release brings with it chapter VI of single-player campaign so there's now about 30 missions to play, they also added two new 8v8 multiplayer maps, a new music track, a new "Rhino Heavy tank (Stolen Tech - Soviet War Factory)", balanced various units and a few bug fixes.
Combined Arms allows you to play as Allies, Soviets, Nod, GDI and the Scrin.
It takes gameplay elements from Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 and even a little Generals.
All factions have new units and the game has new artwork and sound effects too.
Their download includes Linux, macOS and Windows versions.

This is a stupid question, but is this a port of the actual missions from C&C/Red Alert, or just inspired by them?
Not stupid. I want to know too.
I think these are new - there's a comment on the project page asking about "playing the classic Red Alert maps" and one of the devs replied they would require some modifications to work.
Besides, original missions can be played with OpenRA so I don't think they would port them here without at least adding support for the new factions (which in turn would require changes in story?).
That's just my guess based on some research though, I'm not a specialist when it comes to these projects.
I apologise for the probably dumb question but can this be played on a samsung tablet? Galaxy tab9 i think
Just Windows, Mac and Linux. There's no Android build (that's what would be needed for such tablet).
