How can I rip GNOME out of my Debian buster install without breaking it?
Henry Bailey
Stop making this pointless thread.
Asher Barnes
You can't. It's impossible. It's a clusterfuck. Don't do it. Just do a fresh install of Debian (NET ISO)
Easton Hill
t. mad arch faggot
Noah Martin
Thanks. Also, how do I compile a minimal kernel for Debian?
Aiden Thomas
Also >GNU >not bloat
Brayden Jackson
Has anyone installed StaLi?
Can you even do anything with it?
Jason Taylor
I mean, do you know what you are doing? Why do you even want to do that anyway
Nathan Morris
Not really. Am I better off just compiling a vanilla kernel and using that?
Isaiah Rogers
unfortunately, I might have to switch from void back to Arch. Allowing discards (periodic trim) on a single encrypted void/MBR partition seems impossible. :(
Christopher Powell
Have you ever used Gentoo?
Kevin Green
arch is bloated as fuck
Connor Diaz
for me they seem about the same because I use/want most of the dependencies pulled in by Arch. I'm at about 600 packages
Noah Carter
600 packages is like 1,400 packages. Arch doesn't split packages
Joseph Watson
Once, but compiling packages was painful.
Levi Carter
Maybe they don't split packages because it's not worthwhile to do so?

Firefox addon-compatibility and I don't want to use Firefox because that would involve installing more packages than I need
Luke Robinson
How much bloat is Network Manager?
Nathaniel Miller
Very. Use ethernet or wpa_supplicant. Wpa_supplicant isn't hard. I once thought it was, then the debian wiki showed me how to configure it and such.
Ethernet is pretty underrated

The sandman is arch linux. Rock lee is debian

I actually tried to do something minimalistic the other day. This was the setup...
>OS Devuan GNU+Linux >DE/WM Initially jwm, later switched to a Openbox frankenstein with elements from XFCE and LXDE. >Video/Music player vlc >File Manager pcmanfm or Thunar, I don't remember. >Text Editor nano >Shell bash >Web Browser Firesjw >Terminal lxterm
An *almost* fully working productive system which I could have used for /actual/ work and idled @ ~210MB RAM. My main reason for throwing away such setup was because I was having audio troubles with ALSA not outputting correctly to HDMI and didn't want to ruin it with PulseAudio.
Also init was OpenRC instead SysV because it helped me save a few MB of RAM - which is weird, as from what I know from inits OpenRC is kind of a (great) extension to SysV.

Why the fuck would you list Gentoo? Don't be a fucking moron.
Ayden Edwards
How do I go about debloating a fresh install of ubuntu mate?
Samuel Gonzalez
Are you comfortable with the terminal?
Jaxon Barnes
>answering a question with a question. Why do you feel the need to analyze someones ability when they ask a super simple question? Don't be a dickhead.
You use systemctl to disable services that you don't want to start and bam you are debloated.
Christian Jackson
He's asking a retarded question, i just think he is retarded.
Charles Russell
It isn't a real question its some faggot populating his try hard general thread.

o-ok old thread:
Nathaniel Ward
I suppose posting shit over and over is a form of legitimization on Sup Forums. You can try to normalize a shitty thread like this but when you put stupid shit like Gentoo in a minimalism thread anyone with an iq just north of 70 that has used Gentoo for more than 20 minutes is going to know your an idiot.
Ayden Mitchell
What distro do you use faggot? I would love to know
Blake Martinez
>LE MEMELISM Why do you soycucks insist on doing pointless shit like debloating and ricing when you could actually be doing some cool shit?

There isn't any spoonfeeding going on in these threads because the guy posting them is a fucking brainlet troll.

i had been looking for a lightweight program to read epubs with and finally found out that mupdf (and programs using mupdf as a backend) supports it. so much nicer now.
Debian stable vs testing? I've heard stable is better for servers, etc. and testing is more convenient for desktop use, as the packages are more up to date. Is that right?
James Sanchez
I personally always use testing. Buster
Owen King
>colored text bloat
Leo Torres
What debian calls testing is ubuntu's LTS. What debian calls unstable is ubuntu's running releases.
So yeah, you can use testing.
Logan King
it is, but archkiddies think it's hardcore to not
Carson Murphy
Set up an Alpine system the other day and it was pretty easy going.
Just reactivated my x61 that has been laying around for 2 years and I thought shit was fucked when all mirrors 404'd until I found out that Manjaro stopped supporting x32 a while ago. After switching mirrors it still runs great and gives me about 4-5 hours of battery life on this old as fuck battery. I'd say it's pretty minimal.
Sebastian Butler
Beside memes, why people don't like Void? I use it a fair amount of time and I think it is pretty good.
Ethan Allen
I tried it a while back but the packages were a bit too out of date for me.
In particular I note they are still on LLVM4 but I need LLVM5 at least for some things.
Aaron Williams
I heard that a few times already. I've never had any kind of issue on that matter although it could be because I didn't do anything too specific.
When did you try it last time?
Eli Bennett
2 months or so ago.
I do prefer the ideas behind void to most distros but I just run Arch from a pragmatic approach these days. Larger package/userbase, the aur and I caring about bloat/ricing whilst nice in small chunks otherwise gets in the way of getting proper things I'd like done.
Jordan Lee
Seems like a faitly point. Also as you're using Arch you're not really giving anything in exchange, yet gainning some packages from AUR like you said.
Isaiah Sanchez
First time installing gentoo and thinking about which tiling window manager to use. I am used to i3, is there any other wm worth trying ?

Some nerd dickhead like you published a list of his autistic personal preferences and then decided to share his retarded rationale and rank it "philosophy". > Hurr, Firefox sucks because it uses a NOT_KOOL_HANDLE for its download window. DURR, ME MAD.
Kevin Russell
but aren't you able to install not by source but just download binaries? I never installed it myself i just read it somewhere i think
Andrew Gomez
>not BLOATMAXXXing your distro Skinny soyboys should not be allowed on an interest board for a MASCULINE hobby like technology.
Ryder Lee
You see, the whole point for even considering Gentoo in the first place is the ability to compile the source with customised compiler options. For a gain of questionable measurability you still have to dedicate time and processing power to compilation. If you choose to go with generic binary packages you'd be better off with a well tested binary distribution.
It doesn't mean, though, that Gentoo is redundant. Is it good for ricing? Certainly. Is it minimal in every way? No, absolutely not.
Juan Carter
Go away, linux is Soyboy territory Back to /k/ or /o/
Hudson Adams
> Autistically chasing minimal package counts I know it's an easily comparable e-peen figure but it's got to be one of the worst for measures of “bloat”. They're just files that sit on your system, not necessarily doing anything. I could install 5 tiny programs, or one “bloated” program that attempts to do 5 things and that would be better according to this thread.
The fucking subject has GNU/Linux in it. No BSD or plan9 retards allowed. For fucks sake. I know GNU/Linux isn't autistically minimal like plan 9. Just get out holy fuck
Aiden Cox
>comes into thread >shits on minimalism stop
Bentley Rodriguez
There is no minimalism in this thread.
Isaac Campbell
testing doesn't get security updates (sid doesn't get them either but the fact that sid has it's packages upgraded as soon as they're deemed "not fucking shit up".
