    I use Flatpaks mostly because I like having my base os and gui minimal as possible. Every thinking that is not core os I install as a flatpak. This is great because I didn’t have to install dependencies like lib32 and other libraries on my root partition. Lean and mean.

      But doesnt each flatpak is packed with its own dependencies? So bascially you have the same dependency over and over.

        No, each runtime is only used once. You only get duplicates for apps that use different runtimes or for dependencies that are bundled in the app.
