I feel my system is perpetually bloated, and try to maintain what applications I have installed but always seem to veer off into new applications or python modules and what ever else.
Just wondering how does one keep a lean daily use system?
Linux is bloat. You should be entering your own minimal kernel in microcode via front panel switches at boot instead of being so wasteful. What do you think all that RAM and drive space is for? Holding data??
(Seriously, the modern minimalist thing is hilarious to me and I've been using computers since 16K of RAM was impressive...)
I feel I know as much as before reading your original reply. Are you saying that I should just say fuck it and not care about packages on my system or something else?
