As I said using flatpak remove --unused is safe.
I am specifically talking about users who worry needlessly about what they consider "bloat". I did try reword my post multiple times to make myself clear but I still failed, I blame my headache 😆
The reason I brought it up in this thread is because most people do not see a difference between snap/flatpak/appimage and a package installed from the repository. There will be someone, somewhere that decides they don't need the dependencies of a application or that are included in the default install and start removing things that will cause them issues. An I was trying to explain how that might cause issues that you do not notice right away. To be clear manually forcing flatpaks installed as a dependency to be removed could cause issues with that application (Not talking about --unused).
To clear up some other points eopkg will never touch /home/* what you do there is your business, you can still break things but removing /home/username/.config/GIMP for example because you no longer use it is fine but removing ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc might cause you some issues which furthers my point that needlessly worrying about "bloat" removing things you do not understand can have unintended consequences.
Also if a package is deprecated from the Solus repository it will be removed from your system when you update, as It is no longer being rebuilt against its dependencies so it WILL be broken. No intervention required, unless you want to remove the config files from your home folder.
