    It’s not fully sandboxed if it can write to my screen! That filthy app, writing stuff all over the place!

    I like how the app name is blacked out so as not to dox the flathub app.

      Sanboxed from prying eyes, it’s completely safe.

    this sandbox craze is slowly pushing things back to the point where we used cartridges and booted off from them straight to the program. who needs an OS at this point? it’s bundled with the app anyway 😆

    /s, somewhat

    This is useful for proprietary software.

      As well as FOSS too. Sandboxing is a security standard that should be followed by every software how open their code may be.

      This could well be an advanced video editor or an office suite if they take full advantage of the portals API without losing any functionality. Well, they can have the network permission, it would still be safe anyway.

        I agree with you

        however this program can’t even create files, although I may have misunderstood it

        how are you supposed to save your work?

          As I mentioned in my previous comment, they use the portals API to access and save files.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
