Do you find that you really have degraded performance with Flatpak? On my pinephone running postmarketos, all my non system applications are from Flatpak, which allows sandboxing and easy updates. I can't say I've noticed any performance differences (unlike with Snap last time I tried it).
- jraph 3y agoI think that when the app is actually running, it runs fast, but boot time is higher, and I suspect increased memory usage. I end up not installing a lot of Flatpak apps because of disk space usage anyway. Each package choose a different base system so they end up sharing nothing and taking hundreds of megs each, it's quite annoying. On the PinePhone I only have OSM Scout Server and Pure Maps installed like this, and that's really because there are no Debian packages for them.
- Bu9818 3y agoThe only performance impact I know of is with the seccomp filter in CPU-bound tasks: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4187 https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/4187 Skimming through the recent comments, there might be a way to optimize some of it.
