> Distributions that heavily push Flatpak, like Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite, Endless OS and elementaryOS, strictly push Flatpak for applications. As a side effect, these distributions have a really small base install as well. As an example, an Endless OS install takes roughly 4.2 GB
4.2gb is a "really small base install" ????? WHAT
the windows users are infecting linux, and it shows
the amount of bloat these days is insane
