That extra bit of control is definitely a deal maker.

The glory and the strife.
I am definitely using Flatpaks for large, basically institutionalized programs like Blender, Godot engine, Cura, Prusaslicer... Still, I should double check.
Authoring seems very easy, and I have no idea if there is a filtering/auditing policy, so thank you. I will be more careful.
That is actually awesome. It sound like the Fedora aliens (?) but probably more reliable. Cool. Adding VanillaOS that to the list potential new OS that makes computing easy and fun.
Trying to purge orphan dependencies is absolutely annoying. Talk about wasting space!
Your knowledge of Unix systems is incredibly powerful, and I highly respect that. You are in control of your system, which is the ultimate goal of personal computing. It is even more powerful that your mental models are reflected in your system. That is super cool, I hope to get their some day.
I am also very happy you enjoy trying out new technologies, and don't have the grumpy jadedness of just using what you always use.
For me I thoroughly enjoy learning new skills that unlocks the power of all my many computers, and put them to use. Computing should be fun and empowering, and too often people deprive themselves of fun.
Yeah, interactions with software outside the sandbox can be annoying, but I am glad it is flexible enough to overcome those problems.
Love it! I am starting to feel good about this then.
Fun use case! It feels like hell experimenting with different DEs because the installs mess with each other. If only they were isolated somehow...
No doubt the benefits of technology on a server benefits the desktop user to some degree?
Containerization does add complexity in its assembly, but simplifies things for the system overall, which I think is appealing.
Still, that is just another abstraction away from the machine.
