A runtime is about 1GB, that's 100 photos or a 2 minute video. I don't worry about such things. Flatpak's size is no problem.

Apps become outdated, or at least don't get updated in time. You're stuck on old runtimes because you want to save 1 or 2 GBs.

If you want to save space, update the outdated app. If everything is included in 46 and nothing changed, updating is straoght forward.

There is in GNOME

Know idea about kde ... https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/issues/59

Youcan always write a script that runs at dawn and set and change the theme.

That'll make youtube disappear for me.

Over the years I watched less and less. I only seldomly have to look into youtube for things that are easier in video than in text.

Teens and many people don't know that there is a world without ads. They have to be educated that there are alternatives - not watching youtube is a real option. You do not depend on it.

I's a horrible world many people live in. Recently I saw someone browsing on instagram, each third post is an ad and oftentimes there are ads after ads. And people follow other people and watch their ads. Incredible!

Recently, I was browsing linkedin and there were 12 ads instead of real jobs in a row. in a row. Unrelated to my profession.

I'd love to use it but I think it's too difficult to set up

You have to download 46 eventually anyway. What if there's a bug in 45? Why should you stick to 45 with the newer app? There's no reason in sticking to older versions other than stability. Runtimes are stable enough.

OP is trying to solve no problem. I just keep her from wasting her time.

What do you need 45 for if it runs with 46? Update the app that's still on 45 instead of making sure yours runs with an outdated version.

Space is one of the least concerns for me on a computer, even if it is a phone. Besides, flatpak doesn't consume that much space anyway.

I can't say specifics about aurora-dx. Aurora got added to the official bluefin repo, I don't think it'll go away any time soon. https://github.com/NiHaiden/aurora if it becomes obsolete, just rebase to another atomic variant and layer your packages. It's hassle free and only one reboot (and one pin for backup) away.

You shouldn't layer any random package. You shiuld layer packages that you need and are useful for the system. Even if those are 100 packages. If you need them, you need them. Some packages can be installed via distrobox but you know that already, I guess.

Redesigned. If i have to guess: because it was too much. Too many details, too small.

I'd say Innovation is more important than stopping with breaking changes

It's sad to see that the map it generates is based on google and not osm. I understand why but it is sad anyway.

And it has no password. No idea why that sorcery is wanted

Yes, they are gravitating towards it as you can read in the release notes
