    Damn that is really cool. Good compression algorithms are key.

    I also think that flatpaks huge issue is

    • installing the entire runtime instead of just needed components
    • being universal (and Linux has a reputation to support old hardware) thus wasting potential
    • not being good to backup

      I also was at the yuzu linux-support channel before they closed down, and you have no idea how many times I saw people complaining that yuzu was broken and when I told them to use the appimage it fixed their issue every single times, there was even one case where the person wasn’t even buying what I was telling them until the moment they noticed their crashing issue instantly went away with the appimage lol:

      This is because the mesa version that flatpak uses was (and likely still is) too old, and specially with amd gpus that let to users running into bugs that had been fixed for over a year in other distros.
