I'm talking about both the typical user, and the intention behind creating Linux. The intention was to give freedom to explore and to modify. Using something like Flatpack takes that freedom away. Yes, unfortunately, Linux may be subverted into doing things its authors didn't intend... well, giving freedom has that kind of danger.

It's a browser problem. It's not a Linux problem. We have an awful application distribution platform that grew out of distributed document database. Something that, from engineering standpoint should have never been allowed to happen, but happened due to greed of some and hubris of others. We should fix browsers, not operating systems to deal with this problem.
