Don’t install neofetch, so many dependencies.
Is it unmaintained completely or just feature complete and not getting recent updates?
I’ve seen people say “this tool isn’t being maintained because there aren’t recent check ins” and those two things are very different.
It is written in Bash which I guess makes it pretty high level and stable. Until it breaks it shouldnt need much work.
Bash is damn slow though, so fastfetch (mainly in C) is way better for the “arch flex”
You can use window managers instead of DEs. While I prefer DEs because how much features they have you may not need these features
Instructions unclear, installed sway and 50 utilities for it.
why not both 😅
This is the way.
Install tiling wm, because I can’t without anymore. Install a DE, because I actually like the discoverability of graphical settings programs.
Debian is the solution
Is there a way to download Debian with GNOME without all the bloat?
You don’t use GNOME to get rid of bloat. You use it to get a fully functional opinionated desktop without tweaking too much.
If you want no “bloat”, whatever that is, use some minimal compositor like Sway or something.
Personally, I say: Give me all the bloat, I love it! I love every cool and quality of life feature there is. I have enough space on any desktop computer.
NixOS: haha cute
nix-collect-garbage goes brrrrrr
nix-store --optimize goes brum brum
Install minimal linux.
Your ~/.config folder is 3GB
I never understand this obsession with “bloat” when you can buy a 1 TB SSD for € 50.
Bloat is more about performances
or you can’t buy if you’re not successful enough or you’re in the wrong country. For example, in my country, the minimum cost of a 1TB SSD is about $85 and a salary of $2,000 is considered a very successful salary at the upper limit
bro a 256 gb ssd here costs 200+
Do you live in North Korea?
