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.

I would actually like to see your Bubblewrap script if you wouldn't mind sharing. I've been thinking about trying to learn how to use it for a while now, but I've kept putting it off since getting Xorg programs to work with it seemed difficult/confusing to me.

Here it comes: https://paste.ee/p/voTFI

Note that I'm no Bash expert, and you'll undoubtedly find ways to improve or fix it. Usage:

  • Run stuff in a sandbox isolate bash - and then verify your access to filesystem is restricted
  • Enable Xorg for apps that need it X=1 isolate mindustry
    • Wayland, which naturally isolates apps from each other, is enabled by default.
  • Enable network for apps that need it: NET=1 isolate curl https://ip6.me/api/
  • Enter the sandbox to mess around with it manually: NAME=mindustry isolate bash
    • Note that it doesn't catch Ctrl-C. Ctrl-C kills the isolated Bash.
  • Populate data (installers and whatnot): NAME=mygame isolate ls; cp installer.sh ~/.local/share/bubblewrap/mygame/; NAME=mygame isolate bash
