    I like flatpak as it helps me keep bloat down

    Impossible. Like flatpak itself with 5 applications was using more storage than my entire distro with the same apps as appimages on top.

      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.
