WTF? What in the world is wrong with Electron? Why is this needed and why is it only needed on some distro? Is that for all Electron apps?




I think so unless the Electron app is rich enough to get them whitelisted. Or running with sandbox disabled, but that is even more insecure and I don't feel like to make it default.
