Dependencies are dependencies for a reason. They are required to run the software.

You just installed with all it's dependencies needed, but in this case, worse, because if you did it via pacman, all the dependencies installed will be shared with other packages that require those same dependencies.

With flatpak, all the dependencies you installed are not shared, so if two flatpaks (for some reason) share the exact same dependencies, it wouldn't be shared, it'll be downloaded twice.

Your solution has defeated your intent.

LOL, instead of installing some packages, you installed an entire distro userspace.

@OP
