A little OT but why do flatpaks take so much size? I have a small partition for linux and last time I ran out of disk space it was because these flatpaks were taking nearly 1GB for simple programs that I reckon should not be more than 10MB executables.

Is this like iTunes on windows where it downloads the whole apple operating system to run the software? I know disk space is cheap but it's not always the case especially with these new laptops with fixed and small nvme drives.

edit: just found out this too requires 2.4GB disk space :/
