Media and games. Only loaded and run when I’m using them.

Package dependencies? How much of that is loading at runtime? How many security holes and exploits is some sub, sub, sub package going to introduce?

It’s true. And it’s worse since people worry about the security of the OS but download large batches of suspect apps and games.

200G of packages is 200G I can’t use for games and media.

How it feels to install gentoo whole system is less than 20GB steam games makes it 100GB.

Your right even installing the games is bloat! I must write them from scratch to save VALUEABLE SYSTEM RESOURCES

Yeah, that why IEC units carry only one meansing. It’s all that stupid JEDEC that standardized SI units to binary multiples. Dumbest shit I’ve ever seen.

When you make up new words - see ‘fetch’ - you can decide it means everything you want.

Doesn’t mean that validating hard drive vendors’ scams is somehow right to do.
