The issue with flatpak's permissions model
Read OriginalThis technical article critiques Flatpak's application packaging system, focusing on its problematic permissions model. It explains how Flatpak's isolation is strong but undermined by an installation process that forces users to accept all declared permissions or none. The author argues for an opt-in model, similar to iOS, and discusses the security risks of broad default permissions on Flathub.
