5 days agommm yes, I too like duplicated dependancies in the push for a unified distro.
Realistically that’s my only complaint about flatpak. I have 7 or 8 flatpaks installed on my system, and I think 4 seperate gnome environments installed as dependancies to them. It’s so bloaty
most software shouldn’t require admin to install tbh, like I install all my stuff to ~/.local/opt and ~/.local/bin and it works fine generally as long as it doesn’t need root for something. I do agree flatpak is nice for things that might need an isolated environment though, but for most of my stuff a local user based install works fine
