200 MB install size, -50 MB net upgrade size though.
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.
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?
I agree with you but it is for the sake of the joke…
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.
Use Slackware! It doesn’t install any dependencies.
Is it dependable?
It depends.
That’s weak. Rolling release and not updated since febuary. 4 GB downloaded. Thank the celestial penguin nothing broke.
Remember to update only the keyring first and you should be OK.
Spreading the word of IEC units: it’s “1.46 TiB” and “200 MiB” btw.
Except when it is actually decimal
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.
200G of packages is 200G I can’t use for games and media.
Except it’s 200MB.
Today it’s 200MB of dependencies and next thing you know it’s 200PB! When will the madness stop!

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.
