How do you feel about Flatpak? Do you like having universal packages separated from the operating system, or do you regret how much space they take? (piefed.zip)

You can have universal packages separated from the system that use very little space. That is known as AppImage

And now it is possible to make them truly universal, before appimage sucked since they had a dependency to libfuse2 and glibc, that's not needed anymore.
