Sandboxing GUI applications
Ondrej Holecek
My Linux beginnings dates back to around 2002. Years later I joined SUSE where I am working as software engineer on Uyuni/SUSE Manager project.
No video of the event yet, sorry! Meanwhile...
There are plenty of resources how to do sandboxing or isolation of 'server applications'. But what if I want to isolate my browser or I do not trust 3rd party closed source GUI based applications I still need to use? Until our lord and saviour Wayland is ready and can join holy trinity of Wayland - libinput - cgroups, we still need to overcome basic problem of how to get the damned X display into the container and don't compromise on security. In this short talk I will present my (X based) solution, provide some overview of other methods currently available, and bright future of the xdg-app.
