The problem is when a couple of programs amount for several GB of dependencies. I still use flatpaks, but can't have this in general. Flatpaks are more like extremely exceptional in my systems. permalink fedilink source parent [–] pineapple@lemmy.ml -2 points 1 month ago* (1 child) it is bloat. also were is your package for (insert any very obscure program).
