@Purism I don't see any mention of how applications are isolated from the rest of the system and other applications. To me, this is the #1 privacy risk on a mobile device, and just saying that you will run applications from an open ecosystem on a Linux base system sounds incredibly insecure.

I think they are planning to use flatpak for the applications.

@eang @Purism Flatpak's descriptions sounds equally infuriatingly vague on what it actually does, and protects. It does not sound at all like the kind of user-relevant protection you get on something like iOS or even modern Android.

@WAHa_06x36 @Purism
I think their goal is to have something like the Android permissions model, yes. Have a look here: http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/working-with-the-sandbox.html

@eang @Purism Mmm. The old Android permissions model was rubbish. They have been working for years now to fix it. That document doesn't really address any of those issues, either.
