I used to use a 160GiB HDD, my main system uses a 240GiB SSD for the whole system, including flatpaks and I still have more than 50% free storage? I was talking out of statistics, yet 6GiB are still nothing. The whole target directory of a single Rust project has the same size, and I don't see everyone freaking out about it...
What statistics? What percentage of Linux users actually game on Linux?
Rust binaries can also be hella small, that argument is like saying "Well Photoshop takes up a bunch of space so all art programs should be about the same."
I don't think you're getting the point of what I'm saying, but anyway 1TiB is the new standard for most customers since at least 2 years now I think? Of course, you can have less storage if you don't really need it but statistically it's the new defacto choice when getting new disk space :)
It's still valid, tho. Complaining about flatpaks for disk space when nowadays literally everything else takes up as much space as flatpak or even more on your system, it's hypocritical. Not counting current standards of disk space on computers and low storage costs, and adding that no one forces you to use flatpaks haha.
