From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Flathub doesn't accept CLI tools (unlike the Snap store)
Regarding modifying Sandboxes, try Flatseal
Other way around, accessing command line tools. As far as I know, there is no sandbox setting to allow access to execute commands directly on the host system.
It can but is cumbersome.
flatpak-spawn —host /bin/gedit
Will run local gedit from a flatpak.
Interesting, thank you. I'm definitely running into trouble for things like shells, but it works okay.
Why is helix there then?
