Isn't that tightly tied to the Android permission and app model, which is radically different from generic Linux.




Hopefully some distro will implement Android's permission on desktop then. Unix permissions were made for a time where we actually had multiple persons running software in the same OS (a use case that today is served by VMs) rather than protecting an app from another app run by the same user. https://xkcd.com/1200/
