About

LKM is a distro-agnostic Linux kernel manager that combines runtime kernel management with a full kernel build pipeline. - Install kernels from Mainline PPA, XanMod, Liquorix, or your distro - Build custom kernels from curated profiles (gaming, server, hardened, embedded) - Supports apt, pacman, dnf, zypper, apk, portage, xbps, and NixOS - Qt6 GUI with live build log and kernel table

Permissions

3 permissions weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • full access to your entire file system
    --filesystem=host
  • sandbox escape: can run commands on the host via flatpak-spawn
    --talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak
  • authorisation (polkit)
    --system-talk-name=org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1
  • Wayland display
    --socket=wayland
  • X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
    --socket=fallback-x11
  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • network
    --share=network

Who publishes this

Something concrete is wrong: the id claims a namespace this repository does not own, or the build does things a build should not. Flatsonar warns twice.

  • io.github.penguins-kernel-manager.penguins-kernel-manager claims the io.github.penguins-kernel-manager namespace but is hosted by github.com/interested-deving-1896 and does not build the owner's code
    publisher:namespace
  • installs a prebuilt binary instead of building from source (x6)
    source:prebuilt
