Agreed to both of you. Installing the dependencies via the standard
system package manager gives you the (illusionary?) feeling that the
dependencies are okay with everything else on the system. Using
something like flatpak gives you the feeling that the dependencies are
in a safe sandbox and won't effect the system, but potentially increases
disk space usage (a strong consideration on a smallish Chromebook).
Building yourself is time consuming (especially on a Chromebook! [CBs go
to sleep when you walk away!]) and increases diisk space usage.
