[Flatpak](https://flatpak.org) aims to be a distribution-agnostic package manager for Linux. One of its main goals is to provide a universal package format which can be used in most Linux distributions. It provides some [permission control](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html).

You can restrict applications further by setting [Flatpak overrides](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flatpak-command-reference.html#flatpak-override). This can be done with the command&nbsp;line or by using [Flatseal](https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal).

Note that this only helps with lax high&#8209;level default permissions and cannot solve the low&#8209;level issues like `/proc` and `/sys` access or an insufficient seccomp blacklist.
