Flatpak is an excellent format

Definitely my favorite

Agreed. I initially used AUR since native builds tend to work better but after that whole debacle with malware (thankfully I wasn't affected) I've removed all except a select few and just replaced everything I could with flatpaks. Takes a bit of tweaking for some apps but honestly worth it for peace of mind.

I like flatpak but it's horribly inefficient.. I downloaded the steam flatpak and it was 15gb installed!! I don't think there's anything better really but damn.

The first couple flatpaks always hurt. They mellow out for me as I add more since most use the same runtimes, but I do agree.
