Prabesh, not really, run in an isolate sandbox needs that 1Gb. But after
that each app will waste a couple of Mb. What's the deal today with those
huge hard disk? About the internet connection (cost and speed) there's
little we can do.

Enjoy and spread the word, flatpak is amazing for users and maintainers!
