Description
Desktop portals have become the linchpin of the application development platform for Linux: they not only provide a security boundary for sandboxed applications, and provide a way to mediate the access to system resources, but they are also a uniform system level API for application developers targeting the vast panoply of environments we collectively call "Linux".
In this presentation we are going to talk about the current state of the desktop portals, what kind of features are current available, and what's planned, both in the near term as well as the future.
