  • We dont live in such a perfect world. Linux has a small marketshare for non-server software, so packaging is done by your distro.

    You would need to have user-facing settings for Apparmor or SELinux to replicate what already exists with Flatpak.

    Principle of least privilege.

    Maybe you prefer native packages, but bubblejail or SELinux confined users are complicated as hell and both are pre-alpha in my experience.

    So yes you add bloat, dependencies etc. But you also add stability, a small core system, take load of OS developers and unify the packaging efforts so that it is done by developers not packagers.

    This reduces complexity a lot, as the underlying system is not as important anymore, and you can just use whatever you want. Software is separated from the OS.

    Flatpak is the only good format, as explained in this talk

    (Snap has no sandboxing outside of Ubuntu and is thus not portable, Appimages are inherently insecure)

  • The small drive is nearly empty, just has a few files, those where deleted. The drive is now unuses, used testdisk, photorec, recuva now scalpel to get anything from it.

    The files are there, for sure.

  • The files are deleted as that folder was too big

  • The files are deleted as that folder was too big

  • Okay thats crazy. Maybe RPM installs can losen the firewall, or maybe common things are always open.

  • Fedora does

  • Edit: EndlessOS is the immutable Debian distro, not ElementaryOS.

  • They didnt use Pipewire before??

  • Your distro should absolutely include that. And make sure to actually close all not needed ports, which is more work but the GUIs allow that easily.

  • Yes the data was lost on Windows, but I prefer Linux a lot as all good tools seem to be linux only anyways haha. But will remember recuva as a last option.

    Also no the disk is not booted anymore.

  • True. But please dont be harassing anyways

  • Cough Fedora does that (using rpm-sequoia written in Rust) and also uses zst instead of xz for RPMs since Fedora 31

  • I should do a "sorting DEs by their taste" meme

  • That scentence makes little sense as both are using package managers that work similarly. Flatpak even uses ostree which is more advanced.

  • Or sandbox Snap apps on systems without the Ubuntu Apparmor patches or even using SELinux?
