if you have less than 2500 packages, you're either
>running your shit in a VM as a wincuck >new >fucked something up and had to recently reinstall your whole OS >are not smart enough to maintain a personal computer with a rich software library
this is not open for debate.
hey minimal cucks: nobody gives a shit how fast your glorified solar calculator boots up, or that it only uses 100 mb of ram idling
literally doesn't make a difference to a real power user how limp wristed your pussy rig is
837 packages bootup is 3 seconds after bios ssd everythings instant dont be jelly noob

>forever like 90 seconds and runs in background? and if the internet went down tomorrow forever my shit all works right now anyways, updates or not?
Julian Ross
Where do i check my packages?
Thomas Nguyen
Use a package manager. I would personally recommend Synaptic.
Thomas Bell
>power user
Zachary Watson
nope, i am not a package rat, i just need a terminal, a browser,, a good text editor with syntax highlighting, an app for audio & video,
i dont know what all you have installed but i bet you have a lot of redundant apps
Charles Lewis

Lincoln Parker
>fucked something up and had to recently reinstall your whole OS
In Linux this can happen way too easily. I have had to reinstall Linux from scratch like 5 times now in the past year because it's such a mess.

Landon Nelson
I really hate Ubuntu users

when was the last time you cleaned out packages you're no longer using?
Carson James
Thought the point of linux was being minimalist not be a winfag with any bloat but whatever man

Jeremiah Barnes
Honestly don't understand how you can justify that many packages, there isn't really a point to installing literally hundreds of packages you don't need, I have much better uses for my ssd then that
Mason Stewart
All I wanted to do was use kde texlive and haskell and now I have one gorillion packages installed
Nolan Adams
>In Linux this can happen way too easily. I have had to reinstall Linux from scratch like 5 times now in the past year because it's such a mess. That's your fault. I've installed twice, ever. First install was ubuntu, second install was me moving from ubuntu to arch. Never needed a reinstall to fix my OS
Lucas Moore
1295
And recent I was thinking that was too many and wanted to clear out some packages I don't need any more.
Nathan Lewis
1443 not really sure what I'd do with anything more might try a different DE or something I guess, but why bother if it's just out of "do moar?"
Ryan Thompson
bait/10 >the internet goes down forever If this were to happen, it would take your computer with it. Networking is so simple you can literally make a new internet starting from your home to your neighbors with shit sitting in a spare parts drawer. We dont even need crossover cables anymore ffs.
Angel Cooper
What the hell is that font
Easton Ramirez
1994 packages here. It doesn't even matter. I have everything I need.
Samuel Cruz
Ok, but how to count them? I can easily list all packages, used or not, and grab detailed info on specific packages matching a string(s), but how to count them all without brute force?
Cameron Green

Caleb Lewis
This.
I've only had mine installed for a few months, but only have 735 packages. Guarenteed there is unused ones there as well.
Andrew Collins
why would you even want to turn off your machine
Nicholas Gomez
Screen fetch
Evan Nguyen
Debian and arch packages are not the same when it comes to numbers
And why do you think everyone has the same needs as you? What do those packs on your system do? I doubt I am even close to thar even with KDE

Brandon Powell
Listen here you litte bloatfag.
I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the NEETs, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret Gentoo installations on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kernel commits. I am trained in package management and I’m the top maintainer in the entire US NEET forces. You are nothing to me but just another target platform. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, KDE shill. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of NEETs across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, faggot.
Bentley Morales
>>fucked something up and had to recently reinstall your whole OS
This pretty much. Though I still prefer to keep a minimal install.
Tyler Flores
>if you have fewer than 2500 packages, you're either Fixed.
Jayden Bailey
I have 2300 and I don't use most of them so they don't fuck with my idling ram or boot time. It just uses up about 3GB of HDD. Fuck it I allocated 35GB to the partition /usr is on like a madman. It will get cleaned when I go to Fedora 25.
Dominic Torres
Will I have to reinstall?
Gavin Jackson

Not a vm. Been using GNU/Linux for about 3 years full time and on and off for longer than I recall. Developer.
mad?
Chase Cooper
>if you have less than 2500 potential points of failure
Adam Collins
Number of packages depends a lot in which distro you are using, some distros, like Debian, split the packages more than others. Basically OP is a faggot but we already knew that.

Grayson Hall
I installed gentoo with around 1k packages. Shit was all nice and ricced up but decides to go kaput one day. I have ubuntu mate installed rn and it JUST WERKS
Landon Fisher
WHY IS RASPBIAN SUCH BLOATED SHIT?
I tried clearing out all the garbage I don't need, and it still has an absurd amount of packages.
Isaac Price
never in my life i had more than 2300 packages installed, and that time i basically broken a debian install and had kde gnome and xfce installed and not properly removed. Normally i have around 2100 and it fits all my basic needs, i install something if i need it and often remove it after i wont need it anymore.
Wyatt Scott
Try using Raspbian Lite
Jeremiah Johnson
perfect amount of packages.
Chase Reyes
>We don't even need crossover cables anymore.
Care to explain? I don't have access to a Satellite user.
