Go with one of the ready to use systems. Flatpak, Snap, AppImage. Snap is largely Ubuntu Ecosystem, Flatpak is independent. AppImage is an option if you do not need/want a Sandbox.
Stay away from Docker and LXC for this use case (graphical applications), they are much more work to get going.
I have some Sandy Bridge systems here running strong as Linux desktops for light work. You know, these 4-core 3,3GHz processors from - hmm - 2014?

Great article. Reminds me of the time when I started using Linux as my main work system, back with kernel 0.99z
It reads "158 Tesla Megapacks". But yeah, these could contain Duracell :D
Agreed. My answer was in the assumption that it's about desktop apps as the OP mentioned Electron.
