I just remembered the thing I really dislike about NixOS is that I cannot declare flatpaks, appimages, and the like. It would be really useful if this feature was added somehow seeing that there always seems to be an odd package that doesn't function fully from nixpkgs and the workaround is mainly flatpak.
for appimage, see e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/networking/mockoon/default.nix
Thanks, I'd like to understand appimage tools, and nixified Docker / Podman to start up a headless server, but they all seem pretty difficult for me right now.
