          Flatpak usually require to install huge dependencies. Because it don’t use system one.

            Well, the size estimate on flathub assumes that you’re installing every dependency, which only happens if it’s the first app you’re installing with this FreeDesktop version, which is rare. I have like 15 flatpak apps installed, all of which had a claimed install of over “1 GB”, but the flatpak install directory is only like 2 or 3 GB.

            There’s just not a great way to predict how big an install will actually be from flathub.

            Edit: just to give you an idea, since its only downloading the deltas, most of these “1 GB download size” Flatpak apps are downloading less than 100 MB

      My brother in Christ we have whole communities dedicated to showing off how good Linux apps look. Meanwhile there’s none for windows and apple XD

        I think we have to give credit where it’s due and a lot of Linux apps (mostly the non-distro ones, so no Gnome apps etc.) Do have quite dated interfaces. I can’t find a nice mail client except mailspring and bluemail, both of which then come with some features not working (depending on your distro etc.)
