About
Pins allows you to customize your app menu by editing .desktop files.
Some of the things you can do are:
- changing an app icon that doesn't fit in with your theme,
- creating custom shortcuts to websites,
- hiding apps you don't want to see,
- editing properties in .desktop files.
Permissions
3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.
- access to a sensitive location (~/.config/autostart): credentials or autostart
--filesystem=~/.config/autostart:create - X11 display: X11 lets apps read input and windows of other apps
--socket=x11 - read-only access to your entire file system
--filesystem=host:ro - inter-process communication (needed for X11)
--share=ipc - Wayland display
--socket=wayland - X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
--socket=fallback-x11 - GPU acceleration
--device=dri - access to /var/lib/snapd
