Design Studio PWA is a standalone wrapper that brings powerful web-based graphic design suites out of your browser tabs and into a native, dedicated application window. Packaged securely under Ubuntu's strict AppArmor confinement, this application ensures your host system remains entirely safe while granting you full, uninterrupted access to your favorite cloud-based design tools. Key Features: Dedicated Workspace: Keep your graphic design projects separated from your daily web browsing. Strict Confinement: Runs in a heavily restricted sandbox, ensuring the app cannot access your system files without explicit permission. Multimedia Ready: Pre-configured with custom audio routing to ensure video playback and UI notification sounds work seamlessly out of the box on modern Linux hosts. Native Desktop Integration: Binds perfectly to the GNOME/Ubuntu Activities menu for a native application feel.
