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.

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

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