Anyone correct me if im wrong but afaik, .deb packages just install the actual program and can utilize your systems existing packages as dependencies, while flatpaks are completely isolated and need to bring loads of dependencies with them. This whole trend towards isolated software packages is nice for security and compatibility, but yeah size and performance are comparably dogshit.
