@martijnbraam I agree, that usb stuff should get worked on, but I needed to install udev rules for normal packages too to work. So that part doesn't really make sense to me.
But no usb events is the real deal breaker for me right now (well I still use/maintain those packages)
@martijnbraam funny that that never seemed to work for me or packagers didn't do that then. But I only tried on manjaro (aur) and fedora.
I also thought udev rules wouldn't be needed, if you make that device known to systemd in the first place? At least I think that's what georges suggested.
Which means udev shouldn't be needed for flatpak to work.
Sounds like what we need is a proper API and user defined per app/device permissions.

To people who keep picking a specific app to "demonstrate" that the Flatpak sandbox is broken: This is called cherry picking. Nobody claimed the Flatpak sandbox was a magical solution. For certain things apps need upstream support, but hey everyone benefits from it! • We get proper and secure desktop APIs, yes also non Flatpak • Apps become more secure over time • More control to user over permissions and data • No random files in ~ #Linux #Flatpak
