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.
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.

for appimage, see e.g. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/tools/networking/mockoon/default.nix

If anyone is interested, it looks like there is https://github.com/gmodena/nix-flatpak. Will try it out soon.
