How to properly use bubblwrap? (vlemmy.net)

I want to sandbox things like Steam, Discord and even firefox and I see bubblwrap getting recommended a lot as the preferred sandboxing tool but I'm hardpressed on how to actually use it. I don't know what to enable and what not to.

PS. Please don't recommend Flatpak, I'm aware Flatpak uses bwrap but I want to avoid Flatpak unless absolute necessary. I don't have anything against Flatpak, just personal preference :D.

Thank you for this. But if I may ask can you tell me what some of these options do? I can understand what some of these do just by looking, like giving directory access.

Check bwrap(1) for details, it's all there.

Will this work on my system where I use a combo of Wayland + Pipewire?

Yes, and yes.
