How do I go about removing packages I don't need? Pic related, I already removed like 600 task packages and stupid libre office bullshit, how do I get to a non-bloat number? Do I have to install gentoo daddy?

You need to use something that gives you more control. I've seen minimalist Debian/devuan but you'd have to look that up

Congratulations on achieving shitpost of the day in 19 minutes flat.
Jose James
that's 200 packages at most. I'd like to skip to openbox but I don't feel comfortable with it yet and using someones dotfiles is cheating

Ok, I'm sure that's your daily driver
Hudson Davis
I can't really help you make that install slimmer... your package selection data is probably a complete mess so it will require a lot of manual maintanence but if you're willing to wipe you could start with this
debian.org
David White
Okay, my install takes up 5969MB. How about you?
It is actually, it's a laptop so I turn it off when I'm not using it so I don't have to recharge so much.

Not him but this much

Okay we're talking about daily drivers here, not RPi seedboxes.

It's an old Pentium M laptop. Hard drive died ages ago and I don't feel like buying an useless PATA drive when I can just run OS off of SD card.
Parker Phillips
Do you actually do anything on it besides browse the web?
Jace Lopez

Ian Walker
Not really, mostly watching yt in bed and chatting with friends.
I do some very light coding but it's only single core so compiling anything bigger on it takes forever.

Son, I've had about 300 packages max before
Ryder Thompson
I'm sure you do a whole lot with your machine. The point I was making to OP is that I have a lot of shit installed as well thanks to KDE and still don't have the package count he has.
Joseph Foster
Ah right. Before you do anything OP, could you try this first and report back?
$ dpkg --list |grep "^rc" | cut -d " " -f 3 | xargs sudo dpkg --purge
Jason Thomas

Sebastian Baker

It doesn't matter. You're chasing a useless number. Packages may only use a few KB. Its just useless epeen waiving. I had ~450 on void and ~1800 on ubuntu. Doesn't matter because the ubuntu system actually fucking works and looks very nice, not riced but niced.

How's that nitro holding up? Battery life? Planning on buying one this summer
Ryder Ross
wouldn't you?
Thomas Perry
the battery life is the worst part, maybe 7-8 hours on low-ish brightness. everything else is very good.
it is optimus so be warned if you are going for linux
Camden Sanchez
But why? Do you have a 100 GB hard drive?
Liam Butler
i have one, battery life is fine on windoze10. maybe 10 hours
Kayden Bailey
i have one, battery is fine. maybe 8 hours full use on windoze 10 low brightness
Nathaniel Mitchell
Just do a fresh Netinstall and download the packages you want. Not that package count matters anyway in a stable distro. I could only see why you should care if you were running some unstable distro and wanted less potential breakages in packages.
Joseph Watson
>caring about package count
Don't let the memers bother you. Follow and just do netinst and you'll be fine.
>b-but I have over 1k packages!!!!1
It's fine. Are you trying to be productive, or are you trying to impress internet randoms on a siamese goatherding convene?
Jonathan Bailey
You start off with Debian netinstall and then install only the packages you need.
Camden Lopez
jesus dude, your CPU is running hot
Parker Williams
look at this dumb nigger, 2gb ram idle
