1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    How do you guys get software that is not in your distribution's repositories?

    Then again, loads of apps share that runtime. And if other runtimes have same stuff as that GNOME runtime, the shared parts are on your disk only once. It's pretty smart in how it works.

    Ran out of space on a 30GB partition when trying around 10 smallish programs as flatpaks. Runtimes are shared in theory but not in practice.

    If you allocate 30 GB for / that seems pretty low these days for a desktop system. If you don't have much space, it's always best to go with regular repository packages

    Here someone had 163 flatpaks and it used 8,7GB in runtimes. So I'm guessing the 30GB number is for whole of /.

    I just checked out mine, I have 34 apps and runtimes use 3,1GB

    Runtimes are shared in theory but not in practice.

    I think three runtimes (newest freedesktop, KDE and GNOME) cover 90% of my flatpaks. Then there's programs that use some EOL'd runtime and never get updated, which sucks

    It was on a phone, and 25 GB was Flatpak
