Does PostmarketOS and similar Linux smartphone OSes have the same security/permission model as Android?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, regular user-space applications have full access to files and other info. However, if you only use the builtin package manager, you can trust that the apps you use are probably trustworthy.

Flatpak apps can be sandboxed, though many apps will come with very loose permissions by default.

Thanks, this kinda makes Linux phones a tough sell for me.

We already have this large ecosystem of FOSS and proprietary android apps with a strict security model and permissions.

Smartphones have to much personal data, a lot more than a regular computer, at least in my case.

I do appreciate having an option of something else though, or of course if using older phones where there are no more android / security updates
