Are there any security implications with installing flatpak applications in my /home using --user flag instead of default system?
How do you do it? I have much more space on my /home partition, so I want to save space on root.
OS: Debian 9 GNOME

Re: Flatpak with --user flag
There shouldn't any implications, the app should still run in its own flatpak runtime environment. Just in your home directory.Wheelerof4te wrote:Are there any security implications with installing flatpak applications in my /home using --user flag instead of default system?
AFAIK you just run --user just after flakpak. e.g.Wheelerof4te wrote: How do you do it? I have much more space on my /home partition, so I want to save space on root.
