oh no! and none of that really matters to this person they just wanted an easy way to manage shit.

and I also develop software. lack of sandboxing is hardly a deal breaker. its just something you manage and if you care you ensure stuff is properly boxed.

appimage does have tools that are capable of sandboxing quite effectively and automatically.
