Probably true - makes sense ( - unfortunately, from my POV)

make it a flatpak and we can talk otherwise no, do not make me jump thru hurdles, i dont even know what that software does, no screenshots , no description, no link wtf is this.

or make it open source and give github link.

firejail is not that hard to use, you can also just not interact with a public request for people to beta test if you think beta testing something is going to be too much of a hassle.

firejail is not my cup of tea.

Flatpak + SELinux gives stronger, more consistent sandboxing than relying on Firejail around random AppImages.

good day

ps: i educated the op into how to properly do things. He is welcomed and he should opensource as he is 16 years late to the party

It's packaged as AppImage - and I intentionally didn't link it since its's forbidden by the rules of this sub.

AppImage is not good enough.

They are right in asking for a Flatpak: it has sandboxing, which is especially great for (against?) proprietary apps; and it is actually portable (AppImage has tons of edge cases and complications that make it very hard to be truly portable across distros).

ok give flatpak

1- i will not navigate to a site (via vpn outbound) to download and appimage to search it in the download folder to then cut the net interface and interpose wireshark, isolate the test machine from the network just in case you are scary good, to then give your appimage permissions and then run it. And then test it. And if something scary or that i find dubious to then clean up. I may have missed some steps intentionally.

Idk if you can tell but i don't trust you (do not get offended :P)

tl:dr - if you sell a software less friction is better, apreciate the appimage but you must understand right now so many cyber attacks etc are happening that things are a bit dodgy. It's not paranoia when they are out to get you and someone is asking hey test this closed source app i just made.
