I like the concept of sandboxing, of device manager and restricted user, in certain cases it can be really useful to implement, and I’d like to try doing something like that on desktop.

I would install Android directly but desktop apps are usually superior in many ways.

At the same time I think stuff like qubes OS is too much…

Maybe leveraging flatpaks or docker can be a solution, toolboxes too?

I’ve also tried Nixos but I don’t think it is what I’m looking for.

      Yeah, it seems like these immutable distros with individually contained apps (maybe with some additional restrictions and hardening) are similar to what OP wants. There’s a lot of distros like this
