Flatpak sandbox
Wide access

Runs in a sandbox, but a broad part of it is open — typical for tools that need to manage your files or system. It shows what the app is able to do, not what it does.

What it can access
  • Reads and changes your whole home folder
  • Uses the older X11 display system, which doesn't isolate windows from each other
