There are so many options, from so many different security perspectives, that analysis paralysis is a real issue.
For user-space, there is usually bubblewrap vs. firejail. I have not personally used bubblewrap, so I cannot comment on that, but firejail is great at what it does.
The last comment was about restricting clipboard access to either X11 or Wayland which is possible with firejail quite easily, so if you want that, you can have that.
You can do a LOT more with firejail though.
In case anyone else is curious, I found the following comparison in bubblewrap's repo.

I'm gonna try both and see which one I like. Thanks for this info! You're sure living up to your user name there. (:

You are too kind, thank you!

I have some things commented out but you could probably uncomment most.Some has this, too:
disable-mnt
private-dev
private-cache
env http_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:9050
env https_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:9050
FWIW, once you start whitelisting, it will only have access to those directories and files only, so Discord has no access to anything other than its own directory and ${DOWNLOADS}, which I should probably change.You should check out the default profiles for many programs / apps under directory "/etc/firejail".
[1] You run it via "firejail Discord" or "firejail ./Discord" if you name it "Discord.profile".
