Hey all!

(I did post this in c/flatpak, but this community is more active. I am not sure where would be more appropriate)

Something that I have been wanting to get working is having my browser and password manager both in flatpak. I really like being sandbox and having faster updates if the distro is on the slower side perhaps.

I have a set up with Firefox as a deb and keepassxc as a flat and that works find as one would expect. I did want to install Vivaldi as a flatpak and was not able to get it to talk with keepass.

In my reading I found this: installing KeePassXC natively, which you’d actually want for security reasons.

What is mean by that line of reasoning?

    X11 is not made with security in mind. At the point where you disable Wayland, you can basically use native apps rather than flatpaked apps.

      Oh I’m well aware of X11’s shortcomings, and it’s a band-aid fix until Wayland and/or the DEs sort these capabilities out. If that day doesn’t come within the next year or so, I’ll consider other options then.
