From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I do not know any program like that but what worked for me was creating another user account that had no access to lots of stuff.
Yeah that's idea but it will also lose some of the setup that I have right now. I wonder how hard it would he to tell the kernel not to spawn anything during session time.
With apparmor, you could enable and disable profiles that could restrict access to files and paths by name.
For network traffic, it's possible to use dnsmasq to blacklist or whitelist some domains.
Good idea, thanks.
