This whole sandboxing and containerisation idiocy is such a pain. Oh look, the apps are not secure, the apps sometimes crash. But you know what, let's take a high level approach, because we're such great managers. Let's NOT make better apps and a better stack by actually writing better multimedia libraries. No, let's instead just lock the stuff in which we use anyway, so they can't do more harm than absolutely unavoidable. Let's face it: those wheels are BROKEN, and what we actually need is an effort to reinvent them a few more times so some of them might hold further scrutiny.
Slightly off topic, I know, I'll be back at planning my own world domination myself.

Jesus, Marti, I couldn't have said it better myself. While we are at it, why don't we html'ize all the desktops so they look like win10, devoid of any character, just a whole desktop that looks like a bland rendered web-page, devoid of any decoration and with apps that take 1/2 a screen to do what was done in 1/10 the space before (not just plasma), and while we are at that, let's bork the indent and focus models and use a hodge-podge of open, save, save-as dialogs with hit-or-miss kio functionality. I feel better -- thanks Marti :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
