    4GB of dependencies shared across loads of apps

    The horror… That’s almost 0,4% of my drive!

    Flatpak is crazy inefficient, but at least I can get software that is not yet on distro repos. It will get better.

    Yeah storage is cheap but I last reformated my boot drive in 2017 so my root partition is 20GB and now I have no room for Flatpak. Now I could just resize it but wheres the fun in that.

    TL:DR “A 20GB root partition ought to be enough for anybody.”

            To be fair it’s 2024 and I’m still doing this, because adding an alternate location to install flatpaks in results in Flatseal not being able to detect those apps or edit those permissions. Just setting the default location as a symlink to where I want to magically fixes everything.
