flatpak madness
by marozsas from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6MSNR)
There is almost 105,000 files on my local home folder related to flatpaks.
Is it supposed to be normal ? Manageable? Reasonable ?

miguel$The biggest problem it pollutes my home folder causing problems in a backup.
Took some time to realize why my backups are taking so long to complete. More than 5h before versus 20m after excluding that path from backup.
For sure, something is not ideal, even reasonable.
