Description Nate Graham 2023-10-19 20:27:57 UTC

For Flatpak apps, Discover shows the download size as well as the installed-on-disk size. This presents a few issues:
- Most of the time the numbers are similar, or at least not different enough to meaningfully matter
- It takes up a lot of room on the header, and looks awkward
- It's inconsistent with the PackageKit backend, which doesn't do this even though the download size also differs from the installed size

So let's consider not showing the download size.
