Unironically this...
They trick you by using a bunch of meta packages so it looks like the total amount is much less.
Then when you pull in every library and dependency you end up with 200 new programs just to install Plasma desktop.
I just use window managers now.
Christopher Green
Ask yourself this: "Do I really have so little space?"
Nathaniel Roberts
what you're sacrificing is disk space instead of wasted time using a window manager, believe me the latter is more important
Brandon Gray
ask yourself this, would you rather use your expensive disk space for something you want to use it for, or a developers laziness?
Ethan Hill
What makes you think I don't want the software?
KDE is designed with OOP which means in order to share features between applications, they use a ton of libraries.
I think it is a good thing.
If you don't, then you should use something else.
But don't cry about missing features on your minimal system when you chose another route yourself.

Been using i3 alone for almost two years here, and never missed anything.
Sebastian Price
What is KDE saving you wrt a simple window manager?
Carter Allen
Good for you.
I tried it but the defaults were so bad I decided to quit it entirely.
Thomas Collins
>an application designed specifically for one DE ties in so much with that DE that it needs half of said DE to be installed in order to run
Clearly the real problem here is that you haven't yet switched to KDE.

>bloat is defined by number of dependencies
When will this meme end? Number of packages doesn't determine bloat

half of them take over hour to compile, while a suite of alternatives takes less than that combined
Jose Harris
Windows doesn't have this problem.
Dominic Miller
appimage eliminates this problem.[1]
1. kdenlive appimage depends on dvdauthor.
Julian Martin
Everything else is just an unneeded dependency.
Connor Taylor
Not everyone is autistic enough to want to customize i3 like you NEETS do
