    Yeah. The problem is when I want to install one flatpak app and it takes space.

    Are thoose runtimea like a library itself? The runtime itself seems to be using more than a hundred megabytes of space. Isn’t the deduplications applicable only for libraries used in different runtimes but runtimes itself uses space, right?

      Runtimes are collections of common libraries. The idea is that instead of everyone having to bundle everything, they can use the same runtimes. Yes, dedupping only takes effect when you have multiples of the same library.
