minus-squarePhrodo_00@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 年前Not all dependencies are packaged by the dev. Flatpacks run on top of runtimes which are basically bundles of libraries (most of the important common ones) that are updated independently. A dev only needs to include libraries not in the runtimes.
