I love it because it's the only major app platform on Linux that offers some form of sandboxing, but the download sizes get ridiculously large. discuss order hn newest ahmedfromtunis|1 year ago > it's the only major app platform on Linux that offers some form of sandboxingWhat about Snap? I use it all the time on my Ubuntu machines and works perfectly fine. Even files sizes are waay more sane than Flatpack's. yjftsjthsd-h|1 year ago There's always x11docker, which AFAICT is actually quite good about sandboxing/isolating the app from the system.
