According to the StatCounter, Linux on the desktop has continued to rise and remains above 4%, with this being the healthiest it's ever looked on the desktop.
Also wonder what the hell is your 2MB package that carry a need of 70 runtimes?
Even stuff like Steam for me only pull in like mesa and stuff that are a lot. And barely happenes
In fact. Last time I installed Arch (2 days ago) and I redo my flatpak. 10 apps, pull in 34 packages in total. Further apps only pull in themselves and maybe 1-2 packages with maximum because everything else are covered.
The number 70 (7, 70, 700, …) in some cultures is the “too much” number, not really 70.
This behavior happens when installing whatever package that uses a runtime version different from all ones that are installed already so it downloads its dependencies before the package itself
Or for outdated runtimes
In any case, whatever the cause, in my experience I had to wait for runtime installation way too many times and the 2mb package example was real several times
probably just a flatpack issue. I don’t bother using flatpack at all and still have not ran into anything that truly needs it (From a gaming use at least)
I would love it if flatpak stopped downloading 70 runtime packages worth 2 GB every time I want a 2 MB package
Which distros use this? I don’t think I’m using them.

I’ve personally never had an issue after the gnome and KDE frameworks were installed
