    No problem, just makr sure your system has the exact version of libraries the application needs. And oh, you will only update those dependencies when the application update updates the requirements.

    Oh what’s that? Another application you want to install uses the same lib but different version? Tough luck, chump!

    Seriously it’s either flatpaks or the multi-version dependency management that openSUSE has, and you’re not saving much more space here either.

      or statically compiling literally everything then you got 50 copies of the same thing like windows & macos!
