Description

A framework for installing and running Linux applications in sandboxed environments across distributions. It lets apps bundle much of what they need while using portals and permissions to access the desktop.

Use it when you want Flatpak applications or a consistent app distribution format. Permissions, storage use, and background access still matter, so review each app's permissions when possible.
