Why does the entire Linux community assume that sandboxed apps are something we all want/need these days? I have no interest in sandboxed apps tbh. It makes sense for certain situations but I’m happy without them. I don’t like how Flatpak isolates all apps’ config files off into their little sandboxes and makes editing config files annoying. I just want stuff maintained in a central package manager and I want to use software that’s trustworthy enough that it doesn’t need to be sandboxed in the first place.
I use Wayland, but mainly because VRR support is better (except having to keep rebuilding mutter-vrr every time GNOME updates) and I don’t get screen tearing. Couldn’t care any less than I do now about sandboxed apps or unnecessary forced security. I hate that screen capture gets broken on a lot of programs running in Wayland and that global keybinds get messed up because of “designed with security in mind” bullshit. An operating system’s job should be to provide software with the features it needs, not to restrict said features.
