I see lots of screenfetches on Sup Forums where losers have as little as 600 packages installed. What's the problem... are you incapable of maintaining a complex, 2000 plus package system?
Did you know that the amount of packages installed is directly proportional to the size of your penis and brain?

no it's inversely proportional

I want reddit to leave
2631 here
i install everything i need or even want to use as long as it's in the repos
package count is just a epeen currency for poor niggers
This type of minimal effort bait thread is 100% Sup Forums
i think a lot of it is "real distro" guys end up reinstalling or switching distros before they accumulate software
I personally have almost 3k packages and some days I'm bored I just download tons of shitty games from software store for no reason, it doesn't make my computer slower or less powerful if I have some shitty open source Galaga clone installed for instance
I never realized why autists bothered so much. How will a bunch of 100kb packages affect any performance on i7+ssd+8gb ram
7815 packages here. My system is fast and responsive.
Stop with low-quality posts.
You're not part of the cool kids club unless you have
- less than 1000 packages installed
- 1366x768 resolution maximum
- i3 or dwm window manager
- 60% mechanical keyboard imported from Taiwan with custom lubed o-rings and /fa/ggot colored Miami keycaps
- knee socks
- never do anything actually useful with your computer

nice grammer there, moran.

My bad. It's just 6241.
$ aptitude search '?installed' |wc -l
6241
Debian unstable, installation is about 6 years old, used daily.
>1366x768 resolution maximum
Is this a real thing linux user aim for? I noticed the majority of Linux screenshots seem to always be 1366x768

Inaccurate results.

No, just Sup Forums hipsters with 20 year old ThinkPads and $300 mechanical keyboards.

Last time I used Linux I couldn't copy a file I wanted somewhere else in Dolphin FM or terminal.

$ dpkg -l |grep '^[^i].*ii'

rc tintii 2.9.0-2 amd64 photo filter for easy color effects
This is correct:

OP here, nice. also ty for the gtkorphan shot, installed and had 15 orphaned packages so my penis just shrunk a little
muh pacgraph
okay makes sense, thanks.
your emerge solution is shit
eix -Ic
I don't really care how many packages I have installed, I simply don't install shit I don't use. Don't know where that puts me on Sup Forums scale.

You forgot "less than 2 GB of ram" and "aesthetic zsh $PS1"
Got everything except for the mechanical keyboard and not doing anything useful.
Wait. also do knee wraps count as knee socks?
"minimal" distros like arch and gentoo package everything into as few packages as possible.
That means that installing a library also installs it's dev headers and debug symbols and documentation and other shit you didn't need.
That's why a debian default installation will have 2000+ packages, because everything is kept separate, installed only when you need it.
It's real minimalism.
in 30 days you need to install "Burgerspace"
install what you need, remove what you don't
virtualbox and qemu?
plasma and gnome panel?
i planned on installing cowsay really. Burgerspace has 3 additional packages as dependencies.

Here's a secret for you... 99% of Linux screenshots are from people who run it in a VM. They also don't run it for a long time and just experiment with it. Most of the people here don't even use Linux as their main OS. That's why people have so few packages installed.
ps: yes. Linux is a meme.
>mfw arch devs don't split packages into -dev or -devel, for bonus screenfetch points in Sup Forums threads.
>why a debian default installation will have 2000+ packages
see I managed to do it with less than 1000
Of course with no window manager.
>bash
i don't think you know what you're talking about
A minimal Debian installation is smaller than a minimal Arch installation.
debian has 2000+ packages because most default DE metapackages include shiittones of shit. Gnome : every "bloat" gnome-something package, 12 gnome-games, gimp, inkscape (inkscape has alot of dependencies too), libreoffice, firefox with a iceweasel>firefox dummy package, polari, gnome dictionary ,mutt, bsd-mail utils, etc etd.
If you would just install core packages from an base debian install you would still have more packages installed than on arch because arch does less splitting. Nothing wrong with any of this in any way though.
>If you would just install core packages from an base debian install you would still have more packages installed than on arch because arch does less splitting
The base Debian packages take up less space than the base Arch packages.
Well i did not mention "space" because the guy asked about the "number of packages". And yes it does because arch doesnt split -dev packages, and those take some space.
Why do you guys have so few packages? Do you not use your computers? Is your the repository of your distro dead?

wow did you download all packages in the solus repo?

vim screenfetch.log

Why does it matter how many packages you have, it's never been a problem maintaining 300 or 3000. /Thread
Less than is correct.
Where do packages come from. Like, when you install a distro, and download packages, where are they coming from? Some central place or what?
A server in the NSAs basement

> I see lots of screenfetches on Sup Forums where losers have as little as 600 packages installed
Don't be this retarded please. I can package fucking krita with all deps into one package, or split every library into separate, depending on purpose.
Number of packages literally describes how unixway-ish OS is, not it's complexity desu.
dude stop ruining my end game
check - less than 1000 packages installed
check - 1366x768 resolution maximum
- i3 or dwm window manager
- 60% mechanical keyboard imported from Taiwan with custom lubed o-rings and /fa/ggot colored Miami keycaps
- knee socks
check - never do anything actually useful with your computer
Woa! This is so bleeding arsehole.
Probably a source-based distro. Some things, like programming languages, have many features that aren't needed. On binary distros, they are split in multiple packages, in source distros, they are enabled with flags. That's why Debian-based distros have 1000+ packages on a minimal install.
...
>1366x768
Did you just
apt-get install \*
or something?

1200 packages here... bash isnt cool anymore? zsh is the best? (yeah, I dont post my screenfetch
Well fuck me.
One week ago I did a fresh install of Mint.
I only put the BARE MINIMUM for programming on it and it's already 2400+ packages..
>solus
>apt-get

only sh is cool now.

I honestly thought it'd be higher. I've been on this install for 2 years now and I do everything from it, yet I had to install 7 more packages just to take this screenshot.
