> thinking package count means anything arch has an autistic way of determining what counts as an installed package and it's binaries are compiled against every dependency the devs build in
Eli Richardson
Don't even bother preaching to them. Package count kiddies prove they do nothing productive and do nothing but browse the internet. I have almost 2,000 packages on Arch because I do more than just post on Jow Forums and pirate anime.
Anthony Hill
Surely it depends on what you class as "productive". I use my work computer for nearly nothing besides writing in vi(m), and then compiling it into a PDF with groff -ms/-me. If I got really autistic I could get it down to barely anything.

So in other words, it's a bloated fuck fest and not at all minimal. Gotcha.
Stop the glorification of an proprietary operating system from the 70s because "le minimul philosophy“. The unix philosophy is: hide the source and sue the shit out of open source projects. Unix is the enemy, only zoomers would disagree.

Ports are endgame. I discovered that packages get minimal if you select what flags and dependencies to turn on during compile time, ports let you choose these flags. Ebuilds and the AUR are example of ports, if you've watched their files you know what I mean. I personally like CRUX because its ports are simple and an entire repository can be maintained by one person.
