From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

An exciting development for this Linux app sandboxing and distribution tech. This would also help improve Google Chrome/Chromium support outside the likes of RPM and Debian based distributions with a cleaner packaging experience.

That's what he said.

I thought that Flatpak breaks unprivileged user namespaces

Flatpak does block userns. Apps on Android don't get unprivileged user namespaces, and Chromium is at its strongest on Android. So I have to assume there is some way of making it secure inside an app sandbox.
