I used security-medium since we're on X11 and the apps aren't like.. totally confined

Not sure what the best label here is. Open to suggestions

Not sure how to phrase confinement in a way that sounds positive.

"Secure" is not really true "Confined" sounds like "fewer features" which is technically true, but sounds bad. Same with like "Limited Access"

Maybe something like "Minimal Risk" or something in that direction?

I'm also not sure if it makes sense to badge things here since we don't have a file chooser portal and so far many apps it's not possible to be both fully confined and fully functional. It's not fair to punish apps for platform shortcomings. So maybe that should wait.

@danrabbit another angle to think about is that totally-confined apps will ask for permissions for things when/if needed. I still don't know how to phrase that, though. :stuck_out_tongue:
