are you sure?

if you *only* install e.g. "Pd", you might need 2GB, but the flatpak of 
Pd itself is only 43MB (extracted).
it does require a runtime environment ("Freedesktop Platform" and 
friends), which *is* quite big in total.

however, in my understanding, the platform can be shared between 
different applications, so once you have installed e.g. Pd, also 
installing Pd-L2ork will only add another 572MB, and also installing 
PurrData will only add another 284MB.


(there are different versions of the "Freedesktop Environment", so the 
above is not *always* true; nevertheless there is a lot of data sharing 
between applications)
