renzevFlatpak haters seem to believe that if an app isn't on their distro's repos, it's the developers' fault.
BeigeAgendaIf I can choose between flatpack and distro package, distro wins hands down.
If the choice then is flatpack vs compile your own, I think I’ll generally compile it, but it depends on the circumstances.
ryannathansBecause it’s easier to use the version that’s in the distro, and why do I need an extra set of libraries filling up my disk.
I see flatpack as a last resort, where I trade disk space for convenience, because you end up with a whole OS worth of flatpack dependencies (10+ GB) on your disk after a few upgrade cycles.
TEN WHOLE GIGABYTES!! OMG WHAT ARE WE TO DO??
10 out of 40 is 25%
10 out of 4000 is 0.0025%
I don’t know what dependencies he has but my 3 year old system that is constantly being updated is full of flatpaks and all of the dependencies combined are only around 3GB. People see 1GB of dependencies and lose their mind.
