Just to let you know though that its really rare that flatpak is used for cli's. I think I mentioned it in my comment too or if not, my apologies but flatpak is used mostly in gui's.

I doubt its efficacy here, they might be more useful if you provide a whole jupyter / browser gui though but a lot o f us run it just in cli so I doubt flatpak.

I didn't mean to say that flatpak was the right tool for this job, I seriously don't know too much to comment and so I'd prefer if you could ask someone definitely experienced regarding it.

My reasoning for flatpak was chunking support (that I think is rare in appimage) and easier gpu integration (I think) compared to docker, though my reasoning might be flawed since flatpak isn't mostly used with cli.
