Re: Gnome 3.24 & Snap Package

[Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi gmail com>]

Flatpak is a distribution and sandboxing format for applications, not
for system components.

You cannot effectively sandbox your compositor: it's a privileged
system component, as it needs access to your hardware for both output
and input.

In short: there can't be a Flatpak of GNOME Shell.

Ciao,
 Emmanuele.
