Futhermore, Fatpak also forces a permission model and sandboxing for programs, (["apps"](app.md) in their terms). This is a step towards turning Linux into another locked platform like mobile [operating systems](os.md), where "apps" can only be installed from a single pre-approved source, blocking any attempt from the user to install his own "apps".
