I'm the Never Ending Pie Throwing Robot, aka NEPTR.

Linux enthusiast, programmer, and privacy advocate. I'm nearly done with an IT Security degree.

TL;DR I am a nerd.

  • I moved an older relative to Mint and I regret it. Weird lagging and display server crashes sometimes, probably because of X11. Plus it's release cycle is very slow, so old packages. Ubuntu is far from my favorite distro, but at least it uses a DE with first class Wayland support.

  • You can use both through the browser, which is the safest way of doing things because the browser sandboxes the web apps, isolating them from your system. If you prefer an app for Messenger, look on Flathub, though I advise against it. The two apps I found for Messenger are Franz and Ferdium (a fork of Franz with more features).

    To mitigate the privacy risks:

    Nothing much you can do sadly.

  • I just realized your comment shows a Cromite AppImage? Where do you get that from?

  • I had heard of AM, and I actually stumbled upon your tool before. Thank you for the tool. I wish AppImage was updated to include sandboxing by default.

  • Yes, i understand that Flatpak weakens browser sandboxes, i was talking about the risk of a Flatpak which has access to user home and therefore could for example access $HOME/.firefox and steal session cookies.

    Also I based my assessment of use FUSE2 for normal AppImages on the security hardening used by Secureblue, mentioned here under the section "Filling known security holes"
