    I’ve been using Linux (also Arch, several years, happily!) since 1996 and for a long time I’ve wondered why every software I run gets access to every file I have.

    Flatpak is one way to fix that.

    is available as a package or in the AUR

    Oh okay, I see. You don’t perhaps care about programs reading the files of other programs. Well, that’s fine, everybody has their own threat models.
