Abstract: Sandboxes are a proven tool to isolate processes from the overall system. Although desktop computers face significant risks, there is no widely adopted way to use sandboxes on the Linux desktops, since sandboxing on desktop PCs is more challenging. We name the specific challenges for the Linux desktop and derive requirements that we argue are essential for widespread adoption of any sandbox solution. We then introduce a concept to isolate Linux desktop software using UIDs and GIDs as well as namespace-based sandboxes. Furthermore, we provide a PoC implementation including sandbox profiles for example applications. Based on this, we conducted a survey to assess the usability of our sandboxing concept. We report on the results, analyze the security of our concept, and detail how our sandbox meets the aforementioned requirements.
