Yea thats part of the reason I said generally. As I said, newer to linux and still learning but flatpaks can be more secure because they are sandboxed is my understanding.
That said, you're not wrong to point it out. Sandboxes arent the be all end all to security of course. Any security is defeated if the end user doesn't use logic and practice saftey when it comes to downloading any software.
