[Solved] This maybe a strange question but can I run a Linux app in a separate container/sandbox? Without its dependencies bloating my host OS?

I'm thinking of using VM but I'm hoping to find a better solution
Short: Yes, of course. Long: Well, this is really a long answer, depending on your needs...
I'm only needed to run any apps that has bloat/redundant dependencies so I can remove it anytime I want without screwing up my entire OS ;D
Maybe check out nix. It can be installed on any distro and if you install (temporarily but cached) the app trough nix shell you can then just clean the dependencies with nix store gc.
Come to the dark side we have version controlled operating systems
