Problems installing ElementaryOS
Try Fedora Sodalite instead. It is Fedora(fresh drivers) Silverblue(immutable base) with Pantheon Desktop Environment (from elementary) https://github.com/sodaliterocks/sodalite
-
Am I better off running a GNU/Linux distro over ChromeOS? If so, why?
For the Pantheon desktop environment, I'd instead recommend Fedora Sodalite.

Wimpress: "Pantheon Desktop is a masterpiece"
Have you tried sodalite?

Silverblue specifacly on phones
Someone could make a variant based on phosh, similar to how Sodalite (Silverblue except with Pantheon) was made
-
The goal: Use Fedora 37 with Snapper to get a "riceable" Linux desktop that can be rolled back like a time machine (and some comments on why I don't use Silverblue)

- A meme almost as minimalistic as GNOME's development trajectory.

There should be an everything install but for silverblue
unofficial Pantheon variant - https://github.com/sodaliterocks/sodalite
- Fedora with pantheon desktop?

Some thoughts on Ubuntu 22.04
Nowadays I'm told GNOME Shell is very usable with all the extensions that are available. And Fedora Silverblue is one of the most technically interesting distros I've seen in a while. I'm strongly considering testing that out whenever I get a new laptop, either with the default GNOME desktop or with Sodalite, which aims to bring the Pantheon desktop to Silverblue.
-
Do you think Silverblue could get to a point where you could easily and flawlessly rebase to another desktop environment?
I'm wondering if this is where Silverblue, in the future, could come in. Recently, I saw a post about something called Sodalite, which brings the Pantheon desktop to any OSTree version of Fedora. To install it, you need to use the command line and rebase to it, and then you can use the Pantheon DE. Admittedly, the Github page says it's not a super clean experience.

Sandboxing All the Things with Flatpak and BubbleBox
bubblewrap is designed as a low-level too. There is nothing quick and dirty about it. It disallows everything by default and you have to be explicit about what you want to share with the host. If your application needs complex permissions/resources, then you will need to have a complex bubblewrap command line.
Once you have figured out which permissions/resources you need for a given program, you can wrap the command line invocation in a shell script.
If you want other people to do the work of defining permissions/resources, then have a look at firejail: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail

Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?
Firejail is cool: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail
Linux namespaces/cgroups but nowhere near as heavy as Docker.
I use it when I want to limit the memory of a Python script:

Toolship: A (More) Secure Workstation
Firejail can also be a useful option, though no good if you're on Mac https://firejail.wordpress.com/
Uses the same Linux primitives as docker etc, but can be a bit more ergonomic for this use case

Firejail: Light, featureful and zero-dependency security sandbox for Linux
Firejail, Flatpak (which uses Bubblewrap under the hood), and Snap (which uses AppArmor) all use the same underlying technology: Linux namespaces.
This question comes up a lot, and has been answered here: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/wiki/Frequently-Asked-...
TL;DR: Firejail has much more comprehensive features than Flatpak (Bubblewrap). Firejail also has more comprehensive network support, support for AppArmor and SELinux, and easier seccomp filtering.
Compared to Snap (which uses AppArmor), Firejail is compatible with AppArmor and again goes above and beyond with a lot of additional features.

Bubblewrap – Low-level unprivileged sandboxing tool used by Flatpak
Wonderful little tool, too bad you must chain various exec calling tools to get cgroups (a bit akin to `ionice ... nice ... cmd`) and Linux users namespaces can't allow UNIX sockets while preventing network access (I think?).
Migrated from Firejail when its complexity annoyed me too much and I hit https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3001 (Firejail doesn't like parens or brackets in --put/--get parameters) to a badly NIH version using bwrap and bash to have "profiles":
- Firejail: Light featureful and zero-dependency security sandbox for Linux
-
Do, or do not. There is no try
Firejail does this. The profile database is the two "profile" directories in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/tree/master/etc

Strange times make for strange friends...
What do you mean by a Firefox container? Do you mean FireJail?
What are some alternatives?
