What's wrong with Flatpak?
With flatpak I feel like I'm installing a new entire enviroment for every app I'm installing
It only installs dependencies once. If you install 10 libadwaita apps or 10 KDE apps, you only get 1 copy of libadwaita or KDE framework.
flatpak still ends up using +4x times the storage equivalent of appimage, comparison with flatpak dedup checker for ~20 common GUI apps:
And btw I need to update this comparison, a lot of the appimages on the right got a lot smaller lately.
The flatpak runtimes are huge, the GNOME runtime alone is over 2 GiB so that's +20 appimages.
