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

31GB with deduplication
21,4GB with BTRFS compression

    no app desktop entry

    they can be added manually but yeah i get how that’s inconvenient.

    just run ./appimage.appimage --appimage-extract and you have the .desktop file there, then just edit the path to the executable

      Yes but that is unimportant. This is not user friendly at all. I do that all the time for random stuff, but especially on GNOME the system hides stuff like that away from users and thats okay.
