Bloat

  • Yes. It is bloated. But not for the reasons you may think.

    Live OSes need to fit multiple requirements compared to the installed ones. They need to:

    • Install the OS without internet
    • Provide a test ground for the OS
    • Be a way to repair damaged OS

    So of course it's bloated, but in a good way. You may be already familiar with Ubuntu, and not care about the live OS part, so it would be bloat for you. You may not care about setting up disks, so GParted is bloat for you, etc...

    If you want a less bloated installer, some other distros like debian give net installers

  • Probably some overreaching filter to block trackers. Not sure how to disable it, but I would recommend other search engines instead. Or at worst, you can use a searx instance that has Google search enabled

  • True, but the swap partition is before the root partition, so I need to see if it doesn't break things with btrfs.

    And secondly... I just need the motivation to do it. It's working good enough™ for now, and I do plan on distro hopping to NixOS soon so... Later.

  • Exactly what I meant, but typoed and put cache instead.

    But yeah, I often get memory scares when opening large blender asset files. I got 32gb of swap, but the beast can get hungry fast (and I keep forgetting to close tabs)
