You can change flatpak permissions with flatseal (you’ll need to install it). A lot of them have absolutely braindead defaults It’s really not great to get in the habit of installing random debs from the Internet. Aside from being a massive security issue, you’ll never get updates. If mint repos don’t get updated though, I suppose that’s the easiest workaround
Thanks for the heads up about flatpaks! I’ll look into it.
I believe debs are installed through my Software Manager ? When I said “get debs from official source” I meant that bigger software like Godot, Steam, Handbrake etc I prefer to download from their official website. Most stuff in software managers are several versions behind.
I agree that you shouldn’t be downloading random debs for some small apps made by a random person, for obvious security reasons.
Yeah when you’re downloading from sites like those, there’s not a security risk anymore. The thing is that Linux software generally expects you to be using a package manager, so it doesn’t update itself. When you download and install debs, you lose auto update functionality. But when you’re on a distro like mint with old packages, that doesn’t really matter since you’re not getting up to date software through the repos anyway
