We should work on using the cache more efficiently. It seems that the flatpak caches are taking up the most space (4gb +) and I don't even think the cache is being utilized in the build process (I would need to test and confirm).

Additionally, maybe this is how Flatpak has to work, but it's pretty dumb to me we literally build the same thing twice, once triggered for Flatpak and once for Ubuntu/AppImage.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Don't do duplicate builds, don't have flatpak builds use up most of the cache, slowing other builds.

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response
