Why?
If you’re on arch/nixos, that’s fine since stuff you may need is most likely in the repos already. If you’re on Debian/Ubuntu derivatives, good luck with 100500 ppa-s

Or just use nix/flatpak/appimage/distrobox…
I mean, they said they don’t like flatpak explicitly, and appimage is kinda the same thing but bulkier, standalone nix is similar as well except the lack of sandboxing stuff, and spinning another distro in a container seems overkill-ish. Idk, honestly, mb they prefer the windows way of downloading random installers from the web or that clusterslackery of placing stuff in /opt by hand
Why? Seems to work well most of the time for me.
Not because it work or not but because I have to download 1gb dependencies everytime, even the app I download is only 50mb and it’s really annoying because I don’t have that much storage and fast internet speed
Unless you’re downloading a dependency for the first time, the actual download size will be much smaller (usually around 5% of the full size). The only exceptions I know are the nvidia drivers, which suck
What you’re describing is the whole point of flatpaks. Just don’t use flatpaks then.
So you hate flatpaks and not flathub in specific?
You have to download them once, flatpak apps share dependencies
