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.

200G of packages is 200G I can't use for games and media.
-
Except it's 200MB.
-
Today itβs 200MB of dependencies and next thing you know itβs 200PB! When will the madness stop!

me, looking at literally any measurement of my system: We could get that lower

Jest turn it off and count on piece od paper

The Dijkstra way.

How it feels to install gentoo whole system is less than 20GB steam games makes it 100GB.

steam games
That's cheating, you're supposed to compile your games yourself
-
Your right even installing the games is bloat! I must write them from scratch to save VALUEABLE SYSTEM RESOURCES

Use Slackware! It doesn't install any dependencies.
-
Is it dependable?
-
It depends.

Spreading the word of IEC units: it's "1.46 TiB" and "200 MiB" btw.
-
You can pry binary-based terabytes from my cold dead hands
-
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.

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.

Media and games. Only loaded and run when Iβm 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...
Itβs true. And itβs worse since people worry about the security of the OS but download large batches of suspect apps and games.
