Sandboxing WINE Anonymous 25-11-23 23:06:31 No.22565[Reply]

Is adding the wine binary to a user with no internet access enough to securely use Windows programs under Linux? It seems using the

winetricks sandbox

command also removes all links to $HOME.
Is this enough if I want to not worry about running stuff under Wine or should I opt for sandboxing with Firejail, Flatpak+Flatseal, etc?

>Flatpak would be really cool if it was a sandbox/permission system integrated into the system package manager.
And if Flatpak packages actually had good sandbox (some of them don't have any sandboxing at all). There is a site that has collected criticism on Flatpak; https://flatkill.org

>>it wants to install its own separate Gnome
yeah, flatpaks are literally hell
just use this instead: https://github.com/Kron4ek/Conty
it's made by one of the mods on rutracker who packages a bunch of wine and native games for linux
it bundles EVERYTHING (wine, amd/nvidia drivers, steam, lutris, emulators, obs, legendary, etc) you need to play vidya gaems into a single appimage that requires no root access/install and need no extra dependencies
just create another user, download this appimage and run your games inside that environment

>single appimage
meant package since it's actually a shell script + squashfs inside a .sh file

Thanks, this looks very good. You can also run wine under a separate user with no privileges but this alternative also won't ruin my packages, it seems.

Shred and then burn.
Or shred and then compost.

The latter is probably the best method, but it requires paper that isn't chemically treated in a way that would prevent it.

I used to work for Microsoft. The servers had to run in some fucking obscure cobbled together cluster protocol, maintained by a myriad of undocumented scripts, software and platforms, running some godforsaken windows NT to run C# .NET servers.

Count your blessing lol. AWS, ec2/ecr, docker, terraform are a breeze in comparison.
