You should dig into ~/.local and what happens there. I'd never store my keepassxc database file in my home folder if I were you.

Apps need sandboxing, because the linux/posix philosophy of separation through users and groups for each process doesn't really work in the modern day and how graphical software works.

Firejail's approach comes close to "sane" user sandboxes, but technically that's the job of the init daemon (pid 0), there's just no GUI for systemd sandboxes yet that's easily usable.

Podman is also really nice as a user-facing sandboxing daemon.

i know what happens in there. Shit that I install because I want to goes in there. And my keepassxc password is protected by a strong password and a hardware token. They are specifically designed so you can safely store them anywhere (ex cloud backup), so I don't see why you brought that specific example up
