No idea. I don't use the GUI software manager(s), preferring to install and update using dnf. I seriously doubt it's for safety or security. Flatbox is somewhat portable across distros, but also has disadvantages as the apps run in sandboxes and have only limited access to the desktop. This can have consequences for something that expects greater integration. I don't know if TBird is one such app as I don't use it, but it does affect Evolution which has similar use cases. poc -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
