+One method of sandboxing is using Firejail.  Please the [[Firejail|Firejail Wiki page]] for more information on installing and configuring Firejail.

 * You can detect "zombie" processes and delete them.

-* "'''Sandbox'''" is a security mechanism for separating running programs, usually in an effort to mitigate system failures or software vulnerabilities from spreading. I heard about two. The first is to set up a separate account with restricted rights for programs. Second this is '''Firejail''', but when I tested it it does not work efficiently. During the system start, all rules are loaded instead of just for only programs which will running. You can also use virtual machines, but this is not their main purpose.
