developer time and effort has to increase 100 fold to even touch the energy waste larger downloads create.
How much more efficient do you recon the developers are because of flatpack? Does it quantify against the bandwidth and storage needs?
Where I live, most electricity is hydroelectric, nuclear, or wind. So it's really NBD to download a few extra MBs of data, especially since flatpaks aren't something you need to download over and over again.
Nice - so no impact as you have hydro. Got it
Not "no" impact (the laws of thermodynamics are still a thing), but it's pretty negligible.
