Permissions are something I wish desktop os’s would adopt. In most systems, any rando application I run has access to every computer resource that I as a user have access too! Depending on the system, this could mean: my personal documents, my desktop folder, my downloads, all attached peripherals, including microphones and cameras, serial and parallel ports, any radios including WiFi and Bluetooth, the network, a list of running processes, a list of installed applications, the clipboard, and on and on. Why on earth should this be the default? As a user, I should be able to easily deny any application access to these things.

This made a little sense when you could trust application developers with access to all these things, but that ship has long since sailed.

macOS and Windows have them, the problem is the uphill battle to get them adopted.

What we wish, is that the permissions would be fully customizable by the end user.
