I actually have a serious question. How do i compile my own kernal? Are all Linux kernals on distros bloat??
Adam Long
what is the least bloat web browser? currently using lynx but it doesnt play youtube
Lucas Scott
The expression “Linux kernels” can easily be misunderstood as meaning “the kernels of Linux” and implying that Linux must be more than a kernel. You can avoid the possibility of this misunderstanding by saying or writing “the kernel, Linux” or “Linux, the kernel”.

Firefox

Where's Sway? It's much lighter than i3.
Jayden Gutierrez
Do you use Vim or Emacs?
Cameron Nelson
Neovim is much lighter than Vim and, paradoxically, much more powerful.
>i use gedit What the hell are you using Lynx for then? Install Firefox or Brave.
Bentley Murphy
Torrent.
Colton Stewart
did you make this meme too? I like it. Expect a thumbnail soon.

i know it's more bloaty, but since it's more featureful I've been using mpd and ncmpc as my music stuffs. It integrates with polybar and that's been great with i3, so it's all been cool.
Daniel Hall
There are different kernels though. Stock, µCLinux, Linux-libre, RTLinux, etc.
Jace Rogers
You can literally use mpd without ncmpcpp, mpd is the server and ncmpcpp is the browser.
Landon Gray
ncmpcppcpmpppcmppp what a gay fucking name cmus for the win
Xavier Myers
Vim is patently not minimal. Use Vis instead.
Jonathan Gonzalez
Started using Groff for all my essays.
Actually kind of like it's "in-line" way of formatting. Plus I can use my old XP-era machine and have an offline, distraction-free, writing environment.
>install arch with base-devel >install one terminal emulator >install one web browser >do everything else with the tools that came with base install just werks
Yes it is. You can set up your system how you like without pre installed bloatware, like on Ubuntu
Dominic Collins
...
Brody Cox
What about DragonFlyBSD
Isaac Gray
not in the list of approved minimal OS's
Cooper Russell
I can see that, but why not?
Ayden Mitchell
idk
Logan Peterson
>not crux on list Bad OP
Cameron Lee
If arch is in there anything is approved
Hunter Carter
>without pre installed bloatware what is systemd?
Jayden Thompson
No.
Joshua Long
>systemd >minimal >binary distro >minimal
Jaxon Campbell
remove systemd then
Josiah Mitchell
It's bloated luke
Oliver Turner
nope
Anthony Watson
You faggots are derailing the thread.
Cooper Walker
I need to know which android rom is the most minimal

Firefox is the perfect example of all that is wrong with software today: out of control complexity, layers upon layers of badly thought out gratuitous abstractions, rampant abuse of libraries, etc. And I say this as someone that respects and appreciates the mozilla developers, and I know they are good people (I was at the first two European Mozilla Developers Conferences).
It is time for people to remember that simplicity is the most important value when building software, it is time to remember how to build small and simple programs that do one thing and do it well. But how can anyone do that with the ever growing tangle of standards?
And always remember that:
“There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.” – C.A.R. Hoare, The 1980 ACM Turing Award Lecture
If your software is so complex you can’t figure out how to fix a memory leak in less than twenty minutes, then you are doing something wrong, if the leak stays around for months, maybe it is best that you give up and start from scratch.
Thomas Miller
they're all bloat so it doth nae matter
Ethan Ward
so what browser do you use? or recommend? preferably with firefox add-on suppoertr

I still use firefox >b-but but its bloatt!!!11! I'm not autistic. And besides if theres a minimal browser that supports ublock. I would ditch firefox in a heartbeat

yes

No Luke is minimal, his intelligence that is!

Whats more minimal? X with i3 or Wayland with Sway?
Cameron Watson
X with i3
Jason Ortiz
i3 is not me nae muh Sway is not me nae muh X is not me nae muh Wayland is not me nae muh
Brandon Ross
rude
t.hanks
Landon Perry
this post is bloated, as are you
James Hughes
Wayland with Sway. It's much lighter and MUCH more resource-efficient.
Ian Rogers
Wayland sucks, is a sytemd trojan horse with known vulnerabilities.
Asher Wilson
you guys should follow his example 2bqh the ultimate minimalism

Michael Anderson
just installed alpine linux, compiled dwm and dmenu
Jason Walker
Reminder that Crystal is minimal. It has C-tier performance with the ease of development of Ruby.
Dominic Rodriguez
X is bloat, though, and insecure by design. What graphical display system am I supposed to use? Mir? Now THAT is a Trojan horse. Already abandoned, too.
Give me a minimal alternative, user, I'm desperate.
Nicholas Wright
This.
Alexander Jones
Which implementation? Oh right, the one from the same developers of Wayland.
This is a trap thread, made by systemd shills and BSDfags.
I followed this nigger's arch install guide a week ago and I've been waiting for his post-install video since, he needs to hurry up, I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

What are /mg/ approved programming languages? C is minimal, but it can produce bloated binaries with advanced compilers and lacks consistency in its design; Haskell is very simple and generally consistent but produces bloated binaries; C++ is bloat; Ruby and Python are bloat; Lua is incredible minimal, but the design forces you to produce ugly code and dereferencing null all the time with default values to nil; Rust produces more bloat C++; Go is okay; Java is bloat.
Crystal is pretty cool. It's like C with Ruby syntax.
Aaron Sanders
Lolwut. Just use Sway if you want minimalism. It's in the official repos, too.
Juan Green
cmus or mocp
Henry Garcia
neovim.io/ >30% less source code than Vim Scroll down to FAQ. Better yet, try it for yourself. Give it a download and compare it side-by-side with Vim.
