    What do people use for command line utilities? The selection on flatpak is a bit sparse

      1. Flatpak, create a shell script to call the flatpak command and pass arguments
      2. If the app doesn’t work well as a flatpak or isn’t packaged, I would use distrobox
      3. If the app doesn’t work well in distrobox, I’d rpm-ostree install it
      4. If I’m feeling fancy, I might look into installing homebrew. But you need to do some workarounds with PATH and homebrew otherwise it can break things; Universal Blue includes these workarounds out of the box

      Options include:

      • Installing them through brew; this is setup, enabled and configured correctly by default on uBlue projects like Aurora, Bazzite and Bluefin.
      • Installing them within a container; be it though Toolbx or Distrobox. This is what Fedora Atomic initially intended (and probably still does).
      • Some users got a lot of mileage from utilizing nix to this effect.
      • If all else fails (or if you outright prefer it this way), you can always layer it through rpm-ostree.
