Flatpak can look daunting...

Disclaimer

Flatpak uses OSTree, like Fedora Atomic Desktops (Silverblue, Kinoite etc) and similar to BTRFS snapshots.

So many files are deduplicated and linked, not actually there

I think at one point I had like 2.5 tb of stuff stored on my 2 tb drive in my laptop, deduplication and btrfs compression is fun

chitak166,

Immutability and sandboxing are, and always have been, a meme.

Pantherina,

Security is a meme XD just remove your password, what do you got to hide? Lets all be a communist botnet!

A lot of that data doesn’t actually exist, ostree hardlinks data blobs internally, so the actual size on disk is much smaller than most disk usage tools will show.

Pantherina,

Thanks! The same goes for ostree system versions and BTRFS snapshots probably.

I have a similar problem with virt-manager and I think that doesnt create dynamically allocated qcow2 containers?
