About
This is a community package of Flux, maintained independently and published with the permission of its developer. It repackages the official upstream Linux release unmodified and follows upstream releases automatically.
Flux is a minimalist, high-performance file manager built with Rust, GTK4 and Libadwaita. Built for keyboard-centric users, it pairs a clean GNOME look with an asynchronous architecture that keeps the interface responsive.
- Instant live search with body queries and size filters (>10MB, <500KB, ranges).
- Tag navigation backed by FreeDesktop extended attributes.
- Integrated terminal pane that follows the current directory.
- Browse zip, 7z, rar, tarballs and ISO images without extracting them.
- LUKS containers and GVfs remote mounts (SMB, SFTP, NFS, WebDAV).
- Undo/redo for file operations, conflict policies and deletion guards.
- File inspector with SHA-256 hashes, media details and Git history.
Permissions: this package keeps the sandbox of upstream's own Flatpak manifest, as the developer asked. It can read and write the whole host filesystem, use all devices, talk to every service on the session and system buses, and run commands on the host. Host tools Flux calls by name (git, 7z, unar, ffmpeg, the terminal's shell) are looked up in the host's /usr/bin after the runtime's own.

Flux keeps the sandbox of its upstream Flatpak manifest: the whole host filesystem, all devices, the session and system buses and flatpak-spawn, and it runs host tools such as git, 7z and ffmpeg from the host's /usr/bin. These permissions allow arbitrary host commands and access to host files.
