Folks: Am I correct in assuming that package formats like Flatpak, Snap and Appimage, because they package up everything with the executable, would consume more system memory? One of the reasons to use these formats is to avoid library version mismatches, and peg the libraries which accompany an executable at a certain version. But if this is true, then it stands to reason that the executable would use, for example, GNOME libraries which aren't the same as what's on your system being shared by other software. Thus, when you launch X flatpak, it must load its own version of the GNOME libraries. Which would take up more system memory.
Am I correct about this, or is there something I'm missing? Paul -- Paul M. Foster Personal Blog: http://noferblatz.com Company Site: http://quillandmouse.com Software Projects: https://gitlab.com/paulmfoster
