    Proton is not actually sandboxed the way an actual container is.

    A) if the program running in proton was given root access in some way, say by tricking people into entering their root password for a claimed update, it would have complete normal control of your entire system just like normal.

    B)apps running in proton still have access to the regular file system.

    Wine isn’t an emulator or a vm.
