<div dir="auto"><div>Yes, having flatpack install on your system, which bring basically just another Linux system for the application you only want, is just waste of space, memory and would be another hurdle to support...

<pre>So I looked if a Flattpak is available to avoid to handle with the
compiling Stuff.
I wan´t to ask you if it´s possible to provide Sane via Flatpak over
Flathub. It would be a great benefit also to the Distros as to the
Users.</pre>

<p>I don't see much benefit for the users, only for hardware
sellers. If flatpak would become common, than we will have the
same situation as on Windows, needing immense memory and CPU
resources over the time. The packaging system served by a central
repository is one of the big advantages of Linux distros over
Windows.</p>
<p>As an example see the flatpak for <a href="https://delta.chat/en/download" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">Delta.Chat</a>, it needs
over 1 GB to install whereas the DEB-package has only 73 MB.<br>
