You don’t need the v, it just means verbose and lists the extracted files.

Some devs like macos, stuff still needs to be deployed to linux servers, possibly using docker containers.

Docker on macos runs in a virtual machine, for some people that might not be desirable.

I suppose I usually try -h and if that doesn’t work I try the long version or the man page.

Never seen -?, it’s either -h, --help, or -help for programs that just want to be different.

In 2008 a lot of most software was still 32 bit, you couldn’t use more than 4GiB per process. In that sense anything more than that was overkill unless you used a lot of programs at the same time and your OS supported physical address extension (PAE).

I think this is actually very unlikely, flatpak is most likely using some TCP based protocol and TCP would take care of this transparently, flatpak wouldn’t know if any packets had to be retransmitted.
