Good luck with opening the subdirectories of C:\WindowsApps\. I ran Explorer as admin, gave myself R/W permissions, even recursively changed ownership of everything, followed all the online guides... Still denied access.

If you make a bootable linux usb drive you can do whatever you want with all windows stupid files without even having to install linux.

Those're probably containerised.

[-] allywilson@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 months ago

Sandboxed rather than containerised I think.

[-] urshanabi@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 4 months ago

what was the difference for those of us who dont know, like andrew over here 😂

[-] allywilson@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Sandboxed typically restricts a program from being able to read/write to various areas (think an app isn't allowed to use the network, or access USB devices, or it's only allowed access to a certain directory in the filesystem).

Containerised is a way of virtualising an app/apps so that they can be easily distributed to run once or thousands. They can and are also sandboxed to different degrees.
