The nix package manager leverages a declarative programming language to develop cross platform reproducible packages. Rather than building a new binary for every CPU type, nix will compile everything at install time so that the package will run regardless of the CPU being used. (works in windows under WSL)
Unlike a flatpak or a snap, a nix package is not containerized, (although it can be useful to use in containers).
I have created a package request on the nixpkgs repo as well: NixOS/nixpkgs#367924
