Basically, my entire system is FOSS but I’m tempted to install the Spotify .deb package. Would that give Spotify access to info about my system?

    Flatpaks do better sandboxing. So better then .deb’s, but not better then using a web browser

      If you’re overriding the default permissions… Flatpaks attempt to sandbox applications not built to work in a sandbox so the packages usually come with lots of holes prepunched that you probably can close without issues.
