    What cost? It works really well, hence why it’s gaining traction so fast.

      Well, there’s the increased storage usage, and in some cases, more ram. There can also be issues with integration with your distro themes, etc.

      Many people will consider these as a small cost to the benefits of flatpaks, but I can understand the ones who aren’t sold on it.

        Considering how much it is in reality, this is for most users a non-issue. Big issue in embedded devices maybe, but not for desktop users.
