By the time you have something that allows you to safety run malware you have a usability nightmare.
Flatpak'd wayland applications are super usable and they prevent the clipboard spying and the download folder shenanigans. You can edit permissions straight from KDE settings.
Of course, you can't safety just run malware in flatpak.
Qubes OS is the solution. It's indeed less convenient than ordinary GNU/Linux but still quite usable. My daily driver, can't recommend it enough.
