Comment on RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update

  So what? How much bigger is it than the other one?

  If it allows me to not change too many things on the Deck to install, I’m okay with wasting some space compared to other solutions.

  Also it can emulate not just one console.

    That’s nice but for me if a software is also available as a Flatpak it’s an advantage for people that use Flatpak. If it’s available only as a Flatpak (which this one is) it’s a disadvantage for all the people that don’t use it. 2GB for one app is insane. Duckstation is ~80MB

  Most people don’t care as long as it’s not 100 GiB

  The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.

  Doesn’t hurt to use native options if you like them.
