(This is a half-rant half actual question)

I wanted a nice qt theme to use on Scribus since Arc Dark doesn’t work on there. When I tried to install it, pacman said this will install 50 packages. 300 Mb in total.

Why does a theme need packages such as Kauth and Kwallet?

    Yes, but the thing is if you are truly limited by storage, you become paranoid about having to remove old and unused software to free space for the ones you wish to use.

    Flatpak offers a benefit on some distros, as you are 100% sure any flatpak can be removed without screwing up with your system. So in a very weird way, the storage increase is worth by knowing you can nuke it if necessary.
