  • 1 runtime is ≈1gb

    24.08 1gb

    2xQt 250 mb

    2xGNOME 250 mb

    25.08 1 gb

    2xQt 250 mb

    2xGNOME 250

    It gets big fast.

    If you have one app with outdated runtime it is additional 1 gb for just runtime. If you rely mostly on system packages most packages you install from flatpak will have additional weight of 1 gb runtime. So you can get app which weights 4mb with runtime which weight 250 more than app itself.

    And other flatpak repos use other runtimes for example fedora.

    Appimages weight much less but lack sandboxing.

    I hadn’t tried nix but it also lacks sandboxing.
