New Mac ransomware spreading through piracy

One of the things I miss in Windows 10 I don't have on Ubuntu is 'Windows Sandbox'. It's great for testing software out. It loads pretty much instantly.

Look into Firejail.

There are so many ways to escape Firejail, that no one should seriously rely (solely) on it for security. Please, just use proper virtualization for trying shady software/suspected malware.

If you are going that route you are better of with LXC or Docker. IIRC LXC is part of the 20.04 install.

Or use Vagrant if you want better security.

I don’t think anyone has packaged this up, although the tools are there.
