System-wide sandboxing framework - sandbox-app-launcher

Sounds really good in theory.

Would apparmor profiles and other default hardening by packages if any be added “on top”?

Could you please scratch Whonix from the name / folder names? I guess this could be generic. Could be part of apparmor-profile-everything?

main_app_dir=“/usr/share/whonix-apps”

Possibly better in user’s /home folder?

How would an application by started by default using the sandbox wrapper without needing to prepend on command line? The good old problem of non-existence of stackable wrappers.

I guess this sandbox wrapper could be implemented without solving the stackable wrappers issue but to really make applications benefit by default (actual Kicksecure / Whonix integration) would require that to be done.

TODO: X11 sandbox

Rather than bothering with X11 (which’s days are numbered hopefully in any case), could you figure out change XFCE’s window manager with a window manager that uses wayland? (Wayland and that idea was mentioned here Enlightenment DE - #10 by Patrick)
