For GUI apps, flatpak is a pretty good way to get a consistent experience. All of my devices can dependably have identical versioning and functionality. Being able to manage permissions with flatseal is just a plus on top of that.
Regrettably, CLI app support just isn’t there yet, and probably 80% of my non browser usage is in the terminal… I’m eager to see how Nix takes off in that regard if they ever get things a bit more polished up for users. I’ve used it and loved it, but there’s no way my younger siblings could manage their own devices if I switched things to Nix
