The take on flatpaks is such an uninformed one. DMGs on MacOS come with all the dependencies bundled in, which make them essentially just as big as the comparable flatpak (minus the shared runtime that gets installed once)
Seriously, the amount flatpak misinformation that people hold onto is absolutely wild. Ex: I have had to show people it does differential updates because they don't bother to read the output.
Flatpaks are easily the best gui desktop app experience for users we have today.
I know the theory but it doesn’t work that way in real life. Files that are 20mb on macOS are GB on flatpaks.
Flatpak is eating storage and bandwidth which are both issue for many users.
