It does. Just very poorly.

Wouldn’t that be Anarchism/ Libertarian Socialism? Communism requires a state which is an implicit hierarchy.

I use gnome with dash-to-panel. I can’t do docks or top bars.

The fact that I can’t wear a skirt in public without facing backlash, but a woman wearing pants is seen as normal makes me feel like there is still a lot of progress we have to make. I guess it’s equivalent would be women going topless casually. I really hate conservative/puritan values.

I hate simple 1 dimensional representations of politics. I’m not a conservative, and as a Mutualist, I also am not a Liberal.

That’s what I hope Flatpaks can change. Heck, maybe even wasm based applications.

I’d argue the sandboxing you get from xdg desktop portals in applications installed from Flatpak and Snap is a lot better than windows giving full system access to an application when it asks. Keeping a program’s access domain specific is a lot better security than Mac OS or Windows. Not to mention the security improvements from Wayland paired with Pipewire preventing applications access to things like the desktop, clipboard, and audio without explicit permission. And I haven’t even mentioned SELinux yet. In an office setting you could certainly lock down a system pretty easily and prevent things like fishing attacks and even spear fishing. Windows and Mac OS are inherently security through obscurity because they are proprietary and rely on hackers to not know quite how they work, but Linux is resilient because it has more eyes on it and because distributions can modify the kernel specifically for added security like with the SELinux patches.
