Media and games. Only loaded and run when I’m using them.
Package dependencies? How much of that is loading at runtime? How many security holes and exploits is some sub, sub, sub package going to introduce?
It’s true. And it’s worse since people worry about the security of the OS but download large batches of suspect apps and games.
I love this shit you know. Before Linux, I didn't know that upgrading could decrease the amount of space it takes. And especially since I have a 512gb ssd only, this feels so good.
Today it’s 200MB of dependencies and next thing you know it’s 200PB! When will the madness stop!
How it feels to install gentoo whole system is less than 20GB steam games makes it 100GB.
Your right even installing the games is bloat! I must write them from scratch to save VALUEABLE SYSTEM RESOURCES
Yeah, that why IEC units carry only one meansing. It's all that stupid JEDEC that standardized SI units to binary multiples. Dumbest shit I've ever seen.
When you make up new words - see 'fetch' - you can decide it means everything you want.
Doesn't mean that validating hard drive vendors' scams is somehow right to do.
That's weak. Rolling release and not updated since febuary. 4 GB downloaded. Thank the celestial penguin nothing broke.
Someone explain me why do I need to spend 10 minutes waiting for some perl stuff to compile while all I wanted is to have live updated currency exchange rates in GnuCash.
Part of this is from the nostalgia of never having to update your shit in the days of Windows 9x and Windows XP. Installing stuff never required a system update or an internet connection. Drivers were installed via floppy disk or CD. There were tons of other problems all the time of course but at least we didn't have to remember to update stuff.
