I went to install some software today (Gradia) which is only available via Flathub apparently, the install size is larger than my distro which feels like a bit much for a screenshot tool. What’s the deal with the massive size of Flatpaks and is it really worth all the extra space? 4GB per application?

Thank you! Ah yeah I never thought of how difficult software distribution is for Linux, where typically users were compiling their own binaries from sources, but of course that’s not so user friendly.
