Are flatpaks not all sandboxed? I thought the concept of flatpak and snap was that it offered sandboxing in a way what was never implemented to normal repo packages
Flatpak uses kernel namespaces (like docker) to run software with a bundled set of libraries. From their FAQ:
> Flatpak mostly deployed as a convenient library bundling technology early on, with the sandboxing or containerization being phased in over time for most applications.
I don't really know if sandboxing is worth it for me. Running everything inside docker cotnaienrs sounds like an absolute nightmare when it comes to troubleshooting. You might think logs and things would be well defined and put in the right place for the OS to pick up, but if things were so well behaved we wouldn't feel the need for sandboxing now would we.
Flatpak is one piece of a broader design to secure Linux workstations. It is also intended to work in conjunction with Wayland and the in-development Pipewire. These lock down video and audio respectively, so that shared resources can't be misused by applications.
No, these are bind mounted. Most Linux programs have a standard configuration directory. The application files that don't change would probably be sandboxed so that they can be easily upgraded.
This seems like an unreasonable interpretation; it’s much more likely that ‘dymk wants to execute the bare minimum amount of arbitrary code on a web page.
Yes. There's been Supreme Court cases that say you still get due process, can't be beaten into confessions, etc. I don't know if that applies to 1A specifically, but they absolutely have some rights:
Unless you're declared an enemy combatant, or terrorist, whatever those things mean. Cf: everybody tortured or just waiting for disposition at Guantanamo since 2002. Oh and that's for citizens too.
US Citizens have rights everywhere in the world, and everyone has rights when on US soil. People who are neither US citizens not in US soil have no rights under the constitution.
America believes that all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, as long as they're a couple of generations removed from immigrants and #BackTheBlue.
I've had a Dell Precision 5510 and now I'm using a Precision 5520. Ive run Ubuntu, but am currently running Fedora 29 on the 5520.
Fantastic machine. Best Linux on laptop experience I've ever had.
I switched to a ThinkPad due to the 5520 bottom mounted camera. I never thought I'd hate it so much, but we started doing lots of video calls at work, and it really became an issue for me.
If you're not opposed to non-free software and like quality products, I highly recommend you check out Crossover[0]. It allows you to run Microsoft Office on your linux machine.
