    Please just use that tool. Why would you move flatpak to a different partition? But interesting results

      WIth the same 5 application that I had before: https://imgur.com/Yn5O7Ni.png

      I moved it to a different partition because I had already noticed that my Btrfs filesystem level compression was makiing the size different much smaller (the root filesystem actually grew by about 3 GiB but my file manager was reporting over 6 GIB on the flatpak dir).

      EDIT: Also that tool reports the flatpak size as 3.5 GiB while fastfetch reports the flatpak partition as 3.4 GIB.

      EDIT2: This is after installing yuzu:

      ~/ ./flatpak-dedup-checker
      Directories:                /var/lib/flatpak/{runtime,app}
      Size without deduplication: 5.70 GB
      Size with deduplication:    4.03 GB (70% of 5.70 GB)
      

      It actually grew considerably for yuzu, yuzu appimage itself is 60 MiB compressed 170 MiB uncompressed.
