The Flaws of Flatpak

Flatpak sucks, but it's not entirely hopeless...Website: http://trafotin.comDonate:✨ Patreon: https://patreon.com/trafotin💰 Liberapay: https://liberapay.org...

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

Yeah, Flatpak was never meant to be a security mechanism. It is a convenient way to add security to userland though.

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.
