In addition to the sibling comment about layering, this is largely what toolbox is for. Essentially you create containerized environments with a lot of integration (you can run GUI apps from them) and install whatever you want in those. toolbox create new_dev_env_or_whatever toolbox enter new_dev_env_or_whatever dnf install all_the_things And now you've got a container with whatever installed. To use it you do have to use `toolbox enter` or `toolbox run` though. Distrobox is basically the same thing for people who don't use Fedora. I have my issues with both Flatpak and Toolbox as far as how they're put together and work, but overall I find it to be a vast improvement on the status-quo way of doing things. YMMV, of course.
