>They should... Build a fine-grained user-interactive runtime permission system that requires the app to make Flatpak-specific API calls to activate permission dialogs What the article wants is useless without fixing Linux's security modules. Very few people know how to use SELinux or AppArmor, there's no standardization between distros and apparently even RedHat has given up. Flatpak and Snap do containerization because they have no good alternative. P.S. >If I ship an app for Windows I don’t have to include the entire Win32 or .NET runtimes with my app. Note that Microsoft has been moving away from that with .NET Core/.NET. The new runtime does not come with the OS. It's still possible to create a package and have .NET installed separately, but as far as I can tell, most people prefer to package with the runtime.
