The more i look at snap, the more i dislike it.
The same goes for flatpak too unfortunately.
Currently I feel like AppImage, while kind of a hack, might just be the best solution.

The one drawback is that you need to use an ancient compiler, but for our purposes that ancient compiler supports C++17 so that is okay for the time being.
Appimage is super cool for being able to quickly test builds of stuff but for software you actually use its not great.
I have been using Fedora Silverblue for a few months now and using flatpak to install every gui tool and its been excellent. I use a tool called flatseal which lets me tighten or loosen permissions for apps based on what I need which has been awesome. I can just flat out disable networking on apps if I don't need the networked parts.
Not 100% true. See e.g.
https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/blob/master/src/app...
Since the AppImage format is always the same and not just a random .exe it is possible to build tools around them.
