>Note that the app package itself is only 4.4 MB. The rest is all redundant libraries that are already on my system. The author promotes avoiding this redundancy by using the libraries on the host. But maybe we should go the other way, by having only the bare necessities to run the OS installed on the host, and install all applications as Flatpak. I agree with some things though. Different versions of the runtimes should share as much as possible, so as to consume as little space as possible, and libraries retaining backwards compatibility would help with this. And applications should target the regular Freedesktop/GNOME/KDE runtimes if possible, Fedora shouldn't be doing their own thing completely separate from Flathub. And we need to get applications to use portals and not allow them to declare file system access on install time.
