The systemd people say that kdbus will give extra features that the Unix
domain sockets can't provide.

https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2015/02/17/first-fully-sandboxed-linux-desktop-app/

People are saying that it's needed "to allow desktop integration that is
properly filtered at the kernel level".


What are the Debian plans regarding kdbus?  Is it a planned feature for Forky?

It would be nice if we could compete with Android, MacOS, and UMP for
restricting access of desktop apps.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tails_(operating_system)

There are things that can be done to address some of the issues with current
Debian releases, Qubes and Tails are two examples.  But it looks like kdbus is
part of the way things are trending for widespread support of such things.


PS please CC me when replying.


kdbus was a thing 10 years ago. We even had a dkms module at that time.

https://snapshot.debian.org/package/kdbus-dkms/

It didn't materialize i.e. wasn't accepted into the kernel so kdbus is dead.

How did you stumble upon this *now*?
