I use some Flatpaks. Flatpaks sometimes create problems with paths and permissions and stuff. They are generally useful, as are appimages when created by the author(s), but are not a panacea. Also, there are flatpaks not created by the official source.
Reading the reply above I realized half my post is redundant :)
Regarding permissions, I highly recommend the use of Flatseal, which is a very polished GUI program that lets you adjust the permissions of any flatpak individually, quite similar to how Android does it.
