I just tried FlatPak and Snap. Snap is actually useable.

FlatPak might be superior technology with its sandboxing, but I'm 
no expert. FlatPak has no central repository, which makes it 
unuseable for the layman at the moment. It feels like the PPA 
situation in Ubuntu.

Snap has stuff like pulseaudio (audio daemon) or ogre (rendering 
engine) in the repo. That seems weird, because these are not 
applications. The first belongs into the base system, the second 
into a development environment.
