It’s not fully sandboxed if it can write to my screen! That filthy app, writing stuff all over the place!
Sandboxes have been converted into quarantine bomb shelters, for child safety
I like how the app name is blacked out so as not to dox the flathub app.
Sanboxed from prying eyes, it’s completely safe.
Why is it censored lol
It’s actually Dippi but I don’t want to look like I’m advertising it here
this sandbox craze is slowly pushing things back to the point where we used cartridges and booted off from them straight to the program. who needs an OS at this point? it’s bundled with the app anyway 😆
/s, somewhat
This is useful for proprietary software.
As well as FOSS too. Sandboxing is a security standard that should be followed by every software how open their code may be.
What is this? A solitaire game?
This could well be an advanced video editor or an office suite if they take full advantage of the portals API without losing any functionality. Well, they can have the network permission, it would still be safe anyway.
I agree with you
however this program can’t even create files, although I may have misunderstood it
how are you supposed to save your work?
As I mentioned in my previous comment, they use the portals API to access and save files.
Still not worth dependency hell.
Flatpak reduces dependency hell… and proper sandboxing has nothing to do with dependency hell.
Relevance?

Linux users (sometimes):
sees an extremely user-friendly interface - so good that everyone and their grandma can use it perfectly right away without any explanation
“Ugh, why doesn’t this look more complicated?”
Edit: This was in response to someone commenting “Why does it look like toddler UI?”. The comment seems to be deleted now.
They successfully applied the gnome design guidelines.

And that’s a bad thing?
The desktop is finally catching up with the more restrictive permissions model where an app doesn’t just have the ability to do anything the user can do but instead only has access to what it needs.
Going with a familiar interface style like the ones people already use on mobile just makes sense.
What would you want it to look like instead?
I’m not a fan of all the blank space in their design language, it doesn’t look bad or anything but I don’t have a touch screen and having to move the mouse around so much for long periods of time physically hurts, especially on laptops.
I wish it was more… desktop friendly… If they took more advantage of the dynamic layout capabilities of GTK4 to have a better desktop layout based on their already existing design language while still having this mobile esk layout for other devices, we’d be golden.
If they don’t want to do that, they should at least increase the default mouse speed so it feels better out of the box.
