Not everyone has root on their Linux box and even if you do, you ought to be able to install applications as you without sudo&#x27;ing anything. Right now most Linux applications guide you to a deb&#x2F;rpm which runs as root (and who knows if you can trust it).<p>TBH this is just the start of making applications more secure, they ought to be sandboxed too, so one application can&#x27;t read the data from another application by default (similar to how phones work).
