@siina yeah I use a lot of distros on a lot of machines, sometimes for no real good reason other than because I felt like testing something... sometimes because I need something that will just keep on chuggin (armbian / debian :D).
arch on the desktop because PERFORMANCE
and also updated libraries :D
@siina@siina I mean for MASSIVE PERFORMANCE I should use Gentoo too - but then I'd (personally) not have time to use all that performance - maybe on the laptop tho.... hmm.
@k I mean, I'd only suggest someone use Gentoo if they want to learn about their machine(s) and are willing/wanting to customise the packages that they install. USE flags are the sole reason I stick with gentoo. XD Spoiled by being able to install something + 1 dependency that on arch would install ~24 dependencies for things I'll never use. :')
@k I think the concept of "packages" is also different between gentoo and arch. XD
Packages installed: 785
Packages in world: 62
Packages in system: 49
Required packages: 785
111 packages explicitly installed, the rest are dependencies and build packages. Though that is also kinda misleading since things like wayland, xwayland, pipewire, dbus, etc., would be considered dependencies since they're not explicitly marked, but are required by USE flags.
