I guess if you are a regular user, docker makes less sense. There are lots of
desktop specific systems for distributing software in an encapsulated format
(snap, flatpak, AppImage) which are better tailored for desktops. Still I am
not a fan of them.

I like the OpenBSD approach better. Install everything via ports/packages. If a
program needs sandboxing, it can request it itself via the pledge() and
unveil() systemcalls.
