    Is there a way to download Debian with GNOME without all the bloat?

    [–] Username@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago

    You don't use GNOME to get rid of bloat. You use it to get a fully functional opinionated desktop without tweaking too much.

    If you want no "bloat", whatever that is, use some minimal compositor like Sway or something.

    Personally, I say: Give me all the bloat, I love it! I love every cool and quality of life feature there is. I have enough space on any desktop computer.

    I never understand this obsession with "bloat" when you can buy a 1 TB SSD for € 50.

    or you can't buy if you're not successful enough or you're in the wrong country. For example, in my country, the minimum cost of a 1TB SSD is about $85 and a salary of $2,000 is considered a very successful salary at the upper limit

    Do you live in North Korea?

    Bloat is more about performances

    nix-collect-garbage goes brrrrrr

    [–] SrTobi@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago

    nix-store --optimize goes brum brum

    You can use window managers instead of DEs. While I prefer DEs because how much features they have you may not need these features

    This is the way.

    Install tiling wm, because I can't without anymore. Install a DE, because I actually like the discoverability of graphical settings programs.

    [–] lea@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago

    Instructions unclear, installed sway and 50 utilities for it.

    [–] Johanno@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

    Install minimal linux.

    Your ~/.config folder is 3GB

    Don't install neofetch, so many dependencies.

    [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

    Neofetch is unmaintained btw, fastfetch is a good replacement... for whoever needs that. I wrote my own tool for getting system info and I like my terminals to have free space

    List of fetch tools

    Cool alternatives:

    [–] cybersandwich@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Is it unmaintained completely or just feature complete and not getting recent updates?

    I've seen people say "this tool isn't being maintained because there aren't recent check ins" and those two things are very different.

    [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 7 months ago

    It is written in Bash which I guess makes it pretty high level and stable. Until it breaks it shouldnt need much work.

    Bash is damn slow though, so fastfetch (mainly in C) is way better for the "arch flex"
