gollark: That's nice, but you still have to implement very complex sandboxing to *do* it.
gollark: The option #3 I suggested was to not have multiple users; just let the person using it edit everything and don't try some awful nonfunctional sandboxing implementation like you've made.
gollark: I mean, you could do that; that's option #1. It would be an awful solution. But you could.
gollark: Oh, actually there's option #3: just do single user mode and don't bother stopping editing of "OS" files.
