Bloat implies the extra space is unused or without utility. The extra bytes in Flathub packages usually come from containerization, which adds a layer of protection for the user and makes apps interoperable across all OSes. It’s also funny that you’re calling those extra bytes bloat in a post where AUR users would have benefited from the containerized design.

“But it’s 100 MB larger than its AUR equivalent! That means bloat!!”

• Arch users probably

Ahh clearly Arch users didn’t RTFM before installing shit. Skill issue.

PS: The above is an invitation to self-care, not an insult.

I feel like this always happens to npm specifically. They’re definitely doing something wrong 💀

Popularity. Which also means more support.

Thank you for proving my point.

PRO: Customizable and reproducible setups.

CON: The Arch community. All those “RTFM” asshats. There’s even a spot in the Arch wiki for that acronym because it’s so heavily used. “This acronym is an invitation to self-care, not an insult.” Gaslighting motherfuckers.

What I miss?: Nothing off the top my head. All my games work, coding is easy (Python/R), browsers do a lot of heavy lifting in terms of compatibility.

If you have to ask then no.

When you add the fact that the main question contains emojis it destroys any bit of seriousness in the question. Emojis have their places but not when you want to be taken seriously. This post could not be a clearer example of a shitpost/troll post.

Because the hardware is obviously underspecced for any browser. I doubt they could even run a modern OS with a light DE. You’d need to already know what you’re doing if you willingly commit to specs this low.

Fuck no. There are better things to invest your brain power in.

That “Micro” spooked me for a second

Or this is why I’m rolling over.

If 40 MB is important to you then it seems like a no brainer to use pacman.

Maybe reinstall OS and update bios? I’m not too sure myself.

What do you mean by “bloated”? How many more bytes does the flatpak version have compared to its counterpart?

You’re not breathing air, oxygen is entering your lungs.

It depends on how you use the LLM and I personally think it helped me learn NixOS/Nix/Flakes much faster than without it. You can choose to not use LLMs if you’re worried though.

NixOS paired with an LLM gives you a customized PC that won’t change. There isn’t a better option for longevity + hands off user experience than NixOS. The only downside is the big initial time investment.
