How do you feel about Flatpak? Do you like having universal packages separated from the operating system, or do you regret how much space they take? (piefed.zip)

Ehhhh.. for me they're mostly annoying due to the permission issues. I prefer system native packages where I can, followed by appimage, and flatpak last, unless it's an app that won't need access to my PC beyond the standard permissions flatpaks get, in which case flatpak moves up to 2nd place, just cause I can get them through the GUI package manager lol
