shouldn’t be using distro specific installers.

We have Flatpak and AppImage, and space isn't as expensive as it once was. The problem I have is the sandboxing and isolation can make plugins problematic.

I mean, obviously I'm not advocating that you install pipewire or pipewire plugins as appimages.

My last flatpack fight was with OBS. It refused to load external plugins, and also made v4l unsolvable at the time.
