How big is your distro right now?
I am at 4.2 GIB with my distro (artix) + 30 appimages + home. Though stuff like
~/.local/steam
is on a different partition.1 0 ReplyI'll have to look but I have 6-7 VMs so 4.2Gb is child's play. My SSD is 256Gb so I have plenty of room
1 0 ReplyI know storage doesn't matter these days, but another different thing is suggesting flatpak "because it keeps bloat down".
1 0 ReplyStorage isn't everything. Having separate isolated storage locations keeps the cluster down and prevents conflicts. Plus if I need to change something it is easy to find.
3 0 ReplyI do that with appimages as they support a portable home. And that location can be moved around.
You can't get bubblewrap sandboxing with appimages in a user friendly way though, but I think I will start working on that (yes I'm serious).
Flatpak hardcoded
~/.var
which I found a really bad decision and they had several issues opened on this which went really bad if you ask me:https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/46
