AppImage is admirable and FlatPak is tolerable, but Linux has become a hopelessly fragmented and complex ball of abstractions and everyone's best efforts to deal with that so we can just install some goddamned applications already have been significantly hindered by it. Best I've managed so far without getting into hopelessly niche distros is Fedora Silverblue. Immutable base system (OSTree) with FlatPak for most application installs and Toolbox (see Distrobox as an alternative) for things that don't have a FlatPak. It's still a pretty rough experience, especially because of GNOME and its hatred of configurability, but it is the least-suck I've managed to wring out of Linux.
