    That isn’t the amount of space it’s using. This has been explained to you. Stop intentionally misleading people.

    And what’s with the writing in caps? Just write like a normal person.

    Appimages have waaaaaaaay worse theming issues lol. No appimage can integrate with system theming, Flatpak does.

    You clearly don’t understand what I meant when I mentioned updates. Or maybe you did and were just trying to mislead again. My point was that flatpaks don’t have a mechanism for updating, unless the developer builds an updater service into the program, like apps do in Windows. The official way to update appimages is to open your browser and go to each individual piece of software’s download page, then download it.

    Yes I’m aware there are appimage managers and launchers. But that’s more setup, more tinkering, and isn’t a part of the appimage standard. You may as well be saying “what do you mean downloading apps on Windows is a pain? There’s Chocolatey and a Ghocolatey GUI for app management!” Like yeah, cool, but it’s a separate hacked-on project. Not part of the actual appimage standard.

    Downloading appimages via a browser is very much the intended usecase.

    There’s a reason why appimages don’t get much support but Flatpak does. Bluntly, because they’re a far worse solution.

        Freudian slip eh.

        You clearly don’t know what that means. Since Flatpaks do have a mechanism for updating, that statement cannot be a Freudian slip.

        A Freudian slip essentially means revealing secret thoughts or feelings through misspeaking, it doesn’t just mean parsing a sentence wrong. It’s not my secret thought that Flatpaks actually can’t update and any updates pushed to them have actually been a collective hallucination of everybody who uses them.

        Now are you going to address the actual point that I was making? Of course not.

        Alright, you were right, flatpaks don’t use 6GIB for 6 applications, I am very sorry, they use 4 GIB KEK.

        Again with the lies.

        I have 61 flatpaks installed and it totals under 5GiB. HuR dUr FiRefOx fLatPaK usEs 3GiB
