My understanding of Flatpak, and others like Snap and AppImage, is
you are not sharing anything between applications.<br>
Everything is included into a simple package, the app itself and all
the necessary dependencies, working in a sandbox.<br>
<br>
Now about the sizes, in Linux Mint 21 Cinnamon I have the following
reports:<br>
Télécharger = Download / Espace disque est exigé = Requested disk
space for installation<br>

<br>
<img src="cid:part3.Cm68prWH.bDtuENr0@free.fr" alt=""><br>
<br>
Reading the following is going into your direction. I need to test
them.<br>
But in such a case the "sandboxing" declaration is becoming less
true as several applications can share the same library/librairies.<br>
Flatpak is advertised as offering a sandbox environment in which
users can run application software in isolation from the rest of the
system. Really?!?<br>
" " " " "<br>
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatpak">Flatpak</a> runs in
a sandbox (which provides a separate, ABI-stable version of all
common system libraries), and that means that it will always use
more space on the system than common native packages.<br>
However, this is not a concern as Flatpak uses OSTree as its backend
which can deduplicate matching files. This means that the first
install of a Flatpak application will always take up more space at
first, but will be more efficient as the user installs more Flatpak
packages.<br>

MIDI Realtime and JACK are still open questions.<br>

For example all 3 are available in the Software Center of Linux
Mint 21 (based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).
<br>
For the installation, Pd v.0.54-1 needs ~ 2 GB (+ externals),
Pd-L2Ork v.20231030 ~ 3.6 GB and Purr Data v.2.19.3 ~ 3.3 GB.

If you use only Flatpak applications your HDD or SSD could be
full very quickly, especially when using the Raspberry Pi
hardware.

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