   @gentoobro @Vril_Oreilly Duplicate code is fine (unless you’re writing it). Flatpaks work great. Static binaries are awesome and just work. Optimise for the right thing: ease of use. Storage is cheap. Human time (life) is invaluable.

     @Vril_Oreilly @aral Fat binaries are retarded at the core. SNAP, Flatpack, Universal Binaries, Go statically linking everything all the time. All of them. You end up with mountains of duplicate code on your system that eats ram, wastes bus bandwidth, and just slows everything down in general. All just because you couldn't manage to build a package manager (Windows), or got lazy and threw it away (Ubuntu).
