Coldbrew kinda works like that. It uses bubblewrap and uses Alpine's packages: https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/coldbrew.

The unfortunate thing about snap is that of all options, it is the most capable. You get GUI, CLI, server, full filesystem access if needed (aka classic snaps). But Canonical really drags the project down and handicaps it with poor decisions.

    I haven't heard of Coldbrew before, it looks very interesting.

    That's also how I feel about it. I've heard many good things about it technically, but Canonical really killed its adoption outside of Ubuntu.
