I like Flatpak. I've even flatpaked some apps and made them available on Flathub. The only thing that dissapoints me is the fact that it integrates poorly with CLI apps. Off topic: An idea that came to my mind a few days ago is that would have been great to add support for desktop apps to Podman by adding some extension or plugin capabilities to it instead of creating a new whole technology. Probably a silly idea though.

You can run generic sandboxes using Bubblewrap (bwrap) which is the underlying infrastructure for Flatpak. It's much lower level than Podman or Docker though, and closer to the basic reality of containerization as a usage pattern for Linux namespaces. You don't get compatibility with OCI specifications, so it's not the kind of containers that most people might be used to.
