Flatpak uses OSTree, like Fedora Atomic Desktops (Silverblue, Kinoite etc) and similar to BTRFS snapshots.

So many files are deduplicated and linked, not actually there

    Thanks! The same goes for ostree system versions and BTRFS snapshots probably.

    I have a similar problem with virt-manager and I think that doesnt create dynamically allocated qcow2 containers?
