After one year of using Linux, I’m starting to get the memes.
Could the same thing happen on Flathub? Considering the number of unverified packages on the platform
My understanding is that flatpaks run in a sandbox, so although there is a risk- especially for what you give permissions to- it’s not exactly the same. The AUR is basically “curl | bash”, it’s a miracle this hasn’t happened before. If you’re worried about it I think flatseal can look at the permissions and such, but you’re probably fine.
While they are sandboxed, there is still potential for them to cause harm. Its in theory a safer system, but nothing is full proof. I’d agree that its likely fine but best to be cautious
