10Gb of "everything is a Flatpak" isn't exciting.
1 comments

The only flatpaks here are ones installed by the user after setup, or ones installed by Fedora (Firefox for instance, you don't want your browser updating only when your OS does).

Steam, gamescope, and nearly every other listed feature are native packages.

Brand new first boot Bazzite Gnome. That's 7Gb of flatpaks.

  $ flatpak list --columns=size,name | grep MB| grep -Po '\d+\.\d+'| paste -sd+ | bc
  7025.2

  $ flatpak list --columns=size,name | wc -l
  54

  $ df -h /

The GNOME images have more Flatpaks preinstalled than the KDE Plasma images currently.

If you're looking to save a few gigabytes, then I suggest using the KDE variants.
