    Storage is cheap, I don’t care at all as long as I can easily install it without having to go online to search for missing dependencies in the correct version.

    My only problem with Flatpak was when I tried to install an IDE and made it use Podman or Docker and the container thingy caused problems.

      “x is cheap” is not the greatest take imo. it’s cheap until you just so happen to not be able to afford it. what now? better give me an income for the price in storage. not talking about flatpak specifically.

        This. Any many laptops use eMMC, meaning that you can’t just increase the OS storage.
