Imagine your friend that does not know anything about linux, don't you think this would make them not install the firefox flatpak and potentially think that linux is unsafe?
I ask this because I believe we must be careful and make small changes to welcome new users in the future, we have to make them as much comfortable as possible when experimenting with a new O.S
I believe this warning could have a less alarming design, saying something like "This app can use elevated permissions. What does this mean?" with the "What does this mean?" text as a clickable URL that shows the user that this may cause security risks. I mean, is kind of a contradiction to have "verified" on the app and a red warning saying "Potentially unsafe", the user will think "well, should I trust this or not??"
On bad operating systems like Linux, yes. ;)
You're thinking of operating systems that give unrestricted access to all parts of a computer that aren't memory or the camera. That would everything^1^, actually.
^1^ There's also Linux with properly-configured SELinux, but good luck with that on a distro that isn't focused on opsec.
So in other words, I'm thinking of Linux
If you're willing to admit that you're denigrating an operating system for having the same flaws as the one you prefer and are being a massive hypocrite in doing so, sure.
You've lost me on this one. No idea what you mean. But either way, I think you should take my comment just a bit less seriously.
