To whom it may concern,

I wanted to enquire a few security questions. Can flatpak sandboxiing do
the following:

   - Prevent apps from having access to the user name
   - Taking screenshots without the consent of the user
   - Having Internet access
   - Limiting which applications can have access to which directories

I have further questions about flatpak which are:

   - When I install an application through flatpak, does it automatically
   get sanboxed?
   - Does Sandboxing applications slow it down, if so by how much?
   - If I have installed an application NOT from flatpak, then is it still
   possible to sandbox that application through flatpak?
   - What is *flathub*?

Kind regards,

Joe Smith
