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

Yes but that wasn’t the original comment I replied to was about.

I know this doesn’t matter these days but once again that wasn’t what the original comment was about.

I agree, it was just about the size differences. I just think it's good to bring up since there's many confused about the flatpak size use. Often people might want to install some small app and they're hit with gigs of stuff and come off thinking that's the same for every app, which would be insane of course.

WAIT I just took a deeper look at the link, isn’t that guy just showing the runtimes without the applications using 8.7 GiB?

Yes it's specifically comparing runtimes. Same for my number, I was calculating how much the runtimes used.
