As part of the effort of making a “Chromebook-like” secure, autoupdating, cloud-native, “unbreakable” (but still free and privacy-friendly) Distro, I would like some of your recommendations on especially secure software, that could replace common ones like File managers, Archive Managers, PDF reader, Image viewer etc.

I am thinking of Loupe, GNOMEs new image viewer written in Rust, that opens SVGs in a sandbox to avoid issues here.

Memory safety, resonable simplicity, updated code, these should be requirements.

Any other recommendations? Thanks guys!

Btw Flatpaks are working now! Come and test Secureblue!

    To add to this systemd can do everything they can. You can isolate network, do fire-walling, and sandboxing pretty easily. Any OCI container can be used too if you don’t want to install something too.
