Unfortunately the tech-illiterate heads that control DOST would reject such proposal.

Philippines should be next. Unfortunately the lack of net neutrality allows our telcos to literally provide unlimited text-only Facebook access for free, like wtf...

As for the permission popups, they have already done that through XDG Desktop Portals. You might have noticed that, for example, apps with supposedly no filesystem access can still open files you selected via the file picker or opened via the file manager. Or that apps need you to explicitly allowlist them to access your location data. Those are apps that use the portals permission system. Unfortunately not all apps use portals yet.

I have seen mockups of GNOME adapting a similar banner style as what Flathub. We might have to wait for GNOME 47 though.

I vaguely remember some money calculating-related project guy who received a PR that heavily optimized and updated the project. Since he was very busy and no longer really wanted to maintain the project, rather than reviewing and merging the commit, he gave the contributor complete access to the repo for them to maintain the project at their own discretion. The project was unpopular back then—when he looked back a few years later, he was surprised to discover that the project had racked up several thousands of stars.

IMO Flatpak is the best of them all. I don't want to bother with repo packages that have complete and unnecessary access to my system. Flatpak neatly installs an app and isolates it, and if I no longer want it I can just easily click "Uninstall" on my Settings app without it leaving a mess or any trace behind, unlike repo packages that manage to screw something as simple as uninstalling itself.

I ate that Cookies and Cheese and yes, there's mozzarella in it. A lot of it.

All of the points of the previous comment are actually valid. Plus, immutable distros are much safer and easier to tinker with than traditional mutable distros. For example, an extremely specialized Arch setup would be much more stable and easier to jumpstart if it was a personalized Universal Blue image, even all your Flatpaks can be declared and installed at setup.
