This app just starts some productivity session while forbidding some programs from starting. Is there a Linux and most importantly FOSS version of it?

    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.
