This is a general for discussing minimal software for GNU/Linux and for helping you debloat your GNU/Linux system.
>What is software minimalism?en.wikipedia.org /wiki /Minimalism_(computing)
>Why software minimalism? - Fewer bugs - Better performance - Lower memory footprint - Better maintainability - Higher scalability - Longer software lifetime - Prompt delivery
>Software minimalist standards - Using a TUI when necessary - Only using a window manager - Using the terminal as a file manager - Package count must be under 900 (unless you use production software such as gimp or kdenlive etc etc, it's okay)
Acceptable GNU/Linux distributions that aren't bloat
>Alpine Linux (Not GNU)alpinelinux.org
>Void Linuxvoidlinux.eu
>Arch Linuxarchlinux.org
>Gentoowiki.gentoo.org /wiki /Handbook:Main_Pagegentoo.org /downloads /
>Debian (netinst)debian.org /CD /netinst /debian.org /releases /wiki.debian.org /SourcesListwiki.debian.org /ReduceDebiandebian.org /doc /manuals /debian-faq /ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-apt-get
