  • IMO yes but it might not be an issue for you, flatpaks work like windows standalone executables where each app brings all their dependencies with them, the advantage is the insane stability that method provides, the downside is the huge size the app will ultimately take, flatpaks are compressed and they don’t really bring all their dependencies with them (because they can share runtimes) but the gist of it is a flatpak is usually much heavier than a system (.deb .rpm .PKG) package.

    If you are ok with tweaking I recommend nix pkgs as they work on any distro and take slightly more space than regular packages. I have a terrible connection and low disk space, flatpaks aren’t something I can use on the long run.

    Oh and if you’re wondering flatpak >>>> snap > appimages (IMO)
