@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip flatpak causes bloat. I run a very lean system, so l generally avoid packages from flatpak. I avoid those packages considered convenient for Ubuntu.
Handbrake takes a lot of resources already since it does video transcoding. I don't know what you mean by "convenient for Ubuntu."
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip flatpak is designed primarily for Ubuntu, right ??
You are thinking of snap
@possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip l avoid snap as well. However, l do wish to work with Ubuntu studio in the future.
Ubuntu is completely unaffiliated with Flatpak and does not ship with flatpak preinstalled
Mixing GTK, QT, etc., causes extreme bloat too. Linux installs will seem lean at first but there're many ways they bloat quickly.
