What would be a solution to that that wont end up giving 3rd parties practical control over what you can and cannot run in your own computer?

(the practical bit is because in theory you can blessed repositories/app stores that users can setup, but in practice this means that the vast majority of users will keep the default repositories and thus if you want your program to be used you'll need the permission of whoever owns these default repositories - ending up with a walled garden even if in theory the walls are low and you can jump over to other gardens)
