I went to install some software today (Gradia) which is only available via Flathub apparently, the install size is larger than my distro which feels like a bit much for a screenshot tool. What’s the deal with the massive size of Flatpaks and is it really worth all the extra space? 4GB per application?
The size seem to be crazy large for you, yeah. Here’s my testinstallation for reference in Fedora 43 KDE:
Huh, interesting, here’s what the software install screen looks like in LMDE7… I have not installed any Flatpaks yet so that could be it? I’m not sure otherwise. I’ve run into several other large Flatpaks since, so maybe it’s some bug idk.
Yeah, me having the dependencies from earlier flatpaks would be the difference.
But does that include any required deps?
