    So, I only have 3 applications installed through Flatpak (Bottles, discord-screenaudio, and Protontricks), but for compatibility sake Flatpak will have a few different NVIDIA drivers and their 32bit versions installed for application functionality.

    Most of the time, between updates I will have 3-4 different ones installed at any given time. It’s nothing super upsetting, but it is “Mildly Infuriating” as its a slight loss of a couple gigabytes of space.

      ah that makes a lot more sense, thanks!

      as an aside, how has discord-screenaudio been working for you? I saw a couple reviews that said it might steal my discord credentials and held off getting it, but it’d be really nice to be able to share my screen with audio again

        I have a secondary discord account I use primarily for streaming, It works pretty well and I haven’t had any issues.

        I used to use the secondary account in a web browser and manually patch in the audio to it’s mic input with pipewire and a patch bay.

        The main reason I use discord-screenaudio is because I’m lazy and it’s slightly faster than manually doing it; Also it allows you to actually have the audio come out from the stream like on the standard windows client, as opposed to using the mic input for audio.
