Ive just gone to update my flatpak. I now have to download 7 slightly different versions of nvidia drivers. 7 Fucking times the same Nvidia driver. 7. 7 Goddamn times.

And no, I dont want to hear your excuses for this. I dont care if it only downloads 370 Mbs instead of 371.

      Any idea why flatpack doesn’t remove unused (automatically installed) dependencies automatically or at least give a hint, as e.g. apt does?

      And if that doesn’t work, just remove the nvidia drivers that do not match the installed version. It may give you a warning that the package is in use but it shouldn’t be an issue if you (OP) keep the version that matches your driver
