It's the closest thing to APKs for Linux. We need an Android for desktop: a signed base image with silo'd applications, application data, and granular permissions.

There's a project called ublue-os (https://ublue.it/) based on Fedora Silverblue & co (rpm-ostree based 'immutable' Fedora variants). It's building signed base images with Nvidia drivers, autoupdates, etc.

You can fork the base repository and just add the packages you want to have installed on your host system. Everything else is handled with flatpaks or with distrobox containers, or you could technically install whatever else package management system you wanted to.
