Ubuntu Desktop’s 24.10 Dev Cycle - Part 5: Introducing Permissions Prompting

In my book, while snaps are definitely annoying and crappy, Ubuntu entirely lost the plot when they started scaremongering with their Ubuntu Pro “security alert” upsell messages. That’s some Norton Antivirus level shit.

This is a good thing, it is much needed for Snap and Flatpak and will make sandboxed applications less confusing for those who don’t grog flatseal/kde-settings/etc. and adds convenience for everyone.
