This is why we need sandboxing. Right now the Linux desktop is still lacking in terms of security
@possiblylinux127 @wisha And how would sandboxing a malicious script inside a theme that is supposed to change the look of your desktop work? They installed and ran something that rm'd their home directory. I'm honestly curious how you'd solve this.
If it ran in a sandbox it would just wipe its own files instead of the system. Under no circumstances should a plugin from some random guy online be running with such high privileges
@possiblylinux127 I was asking how you’d run something that modded the whole UI … sandboxed.
