• Are you using Flatpaks?
  • Are you trusting Flathub?
  • Do you bother about the sandboxing and security?

    Okey, so why we run apps without trusing developers in the first place? Or why do we even need the trust?

    (It’s not that I think sandboxing is not useful sometimes, I just want to see if we get somewhere)

      Think about service providers (government, banking, messaging, streaming, gaming). To participate in life we might depend on some of their services but don’t fully trust these parties. Flatpak is not secure/sandboxed enough to run untrusted apps. Meanwhile on Android the situation looks much better.
