(This is a half-rant half actual question)

I wanted a nice qt theme to use on Scribus since Arc Dark doesn’t work on there. When I tried to install it, pacman said this will install 50 packages. 300 Mb in total.

Why does a theme need packages such as Kauth and Kwallet?

    This is one of those areas where Flatpak shines - install the Flatpak versions of Scribus and Breeze, and keep your system free from unwanted package bloat.

      I would use Flatpak more often if I had the money for more storage space :(

        If you use Flatpak from the start, the storage thing becomes less of an issue.

        Flatpak only takes considerably more space because people use Flatpak as a last resort or too late into the life of the current installation, as flatpak will have too many requirements for too little apps.
