Share advice, reduce bloat, and help others reduce their bloat.
These are the most common locations of bloat in your system: >OS >DE/WM >Video/Music player >Image viewer >File Manager >Text editor >Shell >Web Browser >Terminal
General advice: If you aren't comfortable with the terminal or aren't proficient with GNU/Linux and/or Unix, this thread isn't for you. VS Code is not minimal. No, gedit isn't either. If you think it might be bloat, it probably is. If you know it's bloat, we're already laughing at you.
I like it a lot, this is my second machine running it. I'm not a big ricer (if my pic didn't make it obvious), so I'm just happy that the installation was simple and sane, and it's nice and lightweight. Gentoo is a bitch to set up if you don't have an internet connection, which was the case when I set up this machine. At ~150MiB RAM usage at idle in i3, or 97MiB without i3, I'm not really sure how much lighter I can get. It might actually not be time to install gentoo, at least for me right now.
