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)

I don’t have any files on my OS drive and that is 1tb large. I have never had issues with space on that drive. What I mainly like about flatpak is that you usually get the latest version. Also not giving every app full system access during installation is reassuring, not just because of malware but because of package(updates) that break your system during to a bug
