    I would assume because the whole model of encrypting your drives and installing bootloaders doesn’t blend well with the flatpak sandbox

      You can give a Flatpak the necessary permissions to modify disks. All the permissions needed by Veracrypt could be granted.

        I haven’t used veracrypt to encrypt linux system partitions. Does it do all the decryption in user space somehow?

        and then what’s the benefit of having veracrypt as a flatpak package? that it can be used with older dependencies? if so, is that a good thing to have for things that modify system startup?
