How do you guys get software that is not in your distribution's repositories?

As it should be, don't do that.

Doctor, when I do this it hurts...

Also, you're creating a disk image...

It is. I also wonder if there was a model that accomplishes the same thing but with less image copying.

Like, make snapshots every day, but manual installs are not snapshotted but still tracked with ostree. So you can revert them, display them transparently etc.
