    I can’t say I have the same experience. Flatpaks keep everything tidy and most GUI stores offer the option to delete app data on uninstall

      How big is your distro right now?

      I am at 4.2 GIB with my distro (artix) + 30 appimages + home. Though stuff like ~/.local/steam is on a different partition.

        I’ll have to look but I have 6-7 VMs so 4.2Gb is child’s play. My SSD is 256Gb so I have plenty of room

          I know storage doesn’t matter these days, but another different thing is suggesting flatpak “because it keeps bloat down”.

            Storage isn’t everything. Having separate isolated storage locations keeps the cluster down and prevents conflicts. Plus if I need to change something it is easy to find.
