    Check again with that tool that size is really strange.

    I am not a fan of that bloat, as Android works similar and apps are 30MB max. I simply think flatpak is the best foundation.

      Alright I just moved flatpak to its own partition and checked the size of the partition instead:

      with firefox, kdenlive and libreoffice:

      Disk (/var/lib/flatpak) 2.69 GiB / 19.12 GiB (14%) - ext4

      That’s much better now. But still twice the size that 15 appimages took.

      This is with now having firefox librewolf brave kdenlive and libreoffice:

      Disk (/var/lib/flatpak) 3.40 GiB / 19.12 GiB (18%) - ext4

      Still though, the appimages take less space. A by a large margin.

          WIth the same 5 application that I had before: https://imgur.com/Yn5O7Ni.png

          I moved it to a different partition because I had already noticed that my Btrfs filesystem level compression was makiing the size different much smaller (the root filesystem actually grew by about 3 GiB but my file manager was reporting over 6 GIB on the flatpak dir).

          EDIT: Also that tool reports the flatpak size as 3.5 GiB while fastfetch reports the flatpak partition as 3.4 GIB.

          EDIT2: This is after installing yuzu:

          ~/ ./flatpak-dedup-checker
Directories:                /var/lib/flatpak/{runtime,app}
Size without deduplication: 5.70 GB
Size with deduplication:    4.03 GB (70% of 5.70 GB)

          It actually grew considerably for yuzu, yuzu appimage itself is 60 MiB compressed 170 MiB uncompressed.
