Agree, I feel like there must be a better way to achieve what Flatpak does. I love it because it's the only major app platform on Linux that offers some form of sandboxing, but the download sizes get ridiculously large.

What about Snap? I use it all the time on my Ubuntu machines and works perfectly fine. Even files sizes are waay more sane than Flatpack's.

There's always x11docker, which AFAICT is actually quite good about sandboxing/isolating the app from the system.
