So basically you want Snap packages? https://docs.snapcraft.io/core/snapd https://docs.snapcraft.io/core/snapd

  No, snaps are a completely ridiculous overengineering of the concept. They use a package manager and repositories and paclage format and, from what I can tell, some overlayfs, they don't fit in to the normal file management paradigm... Frankly, they're exactly what you'd expect from the Linux community. AppImage did it much better and even that's overengineered, but its goal is to work on all Linux distributions (without a package manager or a new infrastructure or anything) and really doesn't do much more than the bare minimum to make that happen. Naturally, the Linux Desktop community largely ignores it for making too much sense.
