Actually, the better question is: When will they replace most desktop Linux programs?

    Why should that happen at all? I’m quite happy using one of the major distributions. The software that I want to work works, and it’s reasonably reliable.

        Sandboxing is a buzzword here. Look at the flatpaks, people don’t sandbox, they apply the maximum permissions until the application stops making errors at startup. This is not sandboxing.

        And don’t expect for a second that the security will be enforced on older libraries.

          Users upping permissions is not something that Flatpak is to blame for.

          Flatpak has set the groundwork for sandboxing of desktop apps with a runtime permission system. People dont yet know how to properly use it.
