I don't see any problem. Unused disk space is wasted disk space.
Brayden Sullivan
Besides e-peen and disk space, is there any downside to having 1000+ or 2000+ packages? I like having stuff ready when I need them.
Oliver Cook
No.
Recent Windows converts associate many packages with the "bloat" they experienced on Windows. The fact is that those packages don't do shit and are just waiting for you to execute them (or not).

copy-pasting stuff from a wiki into a terminal then. Whatever, it's not rocket science.

I'm a literal ADHD nigger and used arch for several years. I stopped using it about 7 years ago, though.
Jason Gutierrez
arch isnt event *that* lightweight. debian (for example) is more lightweight (use apt-get --no-install-recommends). if you truly want the most lightweight and optimized system, then LFS is the only choice.
while i agree that bloat (think windows or ubuntu/mint/manjaro) is bad, but there is no reason to own a computer if you arent going to use it and install the software you need (especially if it is available for free).

My excuse is that I have an actual job wherein I need to use my computer to develop software instead of playing music and browsing the internet all day.
Parker Reed
This. It's HDD space. Who gives a fuck. Not like it's decreasing performance.
Matthew Rivera
I probably have 1000 packages installed that start with lib.
Camden Murphy
arch is one of the heaviest distros
the packages
- have most optional features enabled
- have docs, licenses, and other fluff included
- have development headers included
a fresh install doesn't come with much, but it's not like you can't do a base install of ubuntu, either
Matthew Reyes
>he considers having no software installed good
Jayden Lopez
I have plenty of shit installed and only have 598 packages you fucking nigger
Tyler Long
>Not like it's decreasing performance.
depends ...
Justin King
You need a lot less packages overall to get shit running, however.

yes, you can choose what features you want to be compiled (or wheter you want documentation or not). but remember that in gentoo, portage will download the source code of the programs you install.
