More than 2GB for a colorpicker? #flatpak can be a pain in the ass if you have 5 apps, that have 5 different platform dependencies. #linux #gtk #gnome

@owzim

that's so stupid and this is why I hate flatpak

@selea Depends I guess. I just installed it with nix package manager in like 10 seconds. To be fair #flatpak covers additional stuff like permissions and sandboxing.

@owzim @selea your nix installation also has these 2GB downloaded, you just already have them installed in a previous update.

also that dialogue saying it will install 2GB is afaik just a projection, meaning, that it might not do that, as it can only figure out the actually sizes on install/download, as it deduplicates.

@razze @selea that might be true, but it comes down to how it feels. I perceive flatpak installations as very slow and very huge and all in all clumsy. Not so with nix. #shrugs
