You can give a Flatpak the necessary permissions to modify disks. All the permissions needed by Veracrypt could be granted.

I haven't used veracrypt to encrypt linux system partitions. Does it do all the decryption in user space somehow?

[–] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

and then what's the benefit of having veracrypt as a flatpak package? that it can be used with older dependencies? if so, is that a good thing to have for things that modify system startup?

Flatpaks is a universal package format, it works almost everywhere. Also, there are immutable distros, that use flatpak as the default package format.
