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?

    On Linux, all unsandboxed apps are allowed to do anything your user account can do (without sudo) - there is no permission model. You could use Flatpaks but they’re not perfect, likely would require customizing with Flatseal.

      So that’s like, reading all documents, writing stuff, and I assume it can also make outbound connections to servers?
