- ralfj 2y agoGood point, I do indeed use Flatseal. I added it to the blog post.
- Timber-6539 2y agoFlatseal is awesome. Don't know if I would be using Flatpak's sandboxing feature (or even Flatpaks at all!) without it.
- troad 2y agoIsn't it just a thin wrapper around `flatpak permissions`? While obviously a handy GUI, I've never been able to overcome my trust issues with allowing a random package from GitHub to govern permissions for my Flatpaks. Ironically, I'd probably trust it a lot more if it came as a Debian package. There's a circular issue here where the people who are security conscious enough here to want something like Flatseal might also be too security conscious to install something like Flatseal.
- duckmysick 2y agoIf you're using KDE, they have a native permission manager: https://github.com/KDE/flatpak-kcm https://github.com/KDE/flatpak-kcm It's under System Settings -> Applications -> Flatpak Permission Settings
