How to install a potentially dangerous social media software such wechat on arch based linux ?
by andrewysk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GA58)
Hii,
I would like to install this china social software : wechat. I have heard a lot of bad stuff of wechat under dictatorship regime.
I am not even sure wechat is safe to use or not. But i want to use it to communicate with someone who only use wechat.
Hence i want to jail the wechat when i install it.
What are the method to restrain wechat from making hard to my os ? or from spying or anything a dictator country can think of.
What are the possible soln to my concern ?
In windowsOS i used virtual machine and sandbox; But in linux what is the equivalent ?
1.oracle virtualbox.
2. what else ?
Also, i have tried a few wechat package in depo, but non work.. i didn't try snap yet... I tried to "build" but failed.
There are a few wechat in AUR wewechat, electron wechat, both failed. have not try snap electronic wechat. .. some ppl said leave snap as last resource to try.. why ? snap apk is no good ?
Anybody tried before ?
Thx
