A minimal Gentoo install contains less than 30 packages and fits in 1GB of disk (no GUI, though). If you more than double either of those numbers, you’re not “minimal”.
That is the point. Unless Gentoo has a user-friendly graphical installer that offers minimal dekstop options that does everything automatically for you there is no point of comparison.
I love kde, I love the file picker, I love window management, I love dolphin, I love the panels, I love Kate, etc… but every time I have to switch to a new tty to restart kwin, part of my soul dies
Oh good, it’s not just me with weird freezing problems. I often see individual windows hang for a good while as well, and then KWin just restarts in place.
Using a de-bloated Ubuntu reminds me of my time on Windows - had to use a bunch of tools to disable all kind of sh*t. Not doing this again, Ubuntu will never be a choice for me.
Tried Ubuntu a few years back. Snap was a big part of why I dropped it. Started using Pop_OS last year, and while it’s still not my main driver (mostly because of gaming issues), I split my time between it and windows pretty evenly.
I have Kubuntu installed on my desktop, been using it for years. I had disabled snap Firefox and used a Deb version, but the other day I discovered that Kubuntu reinstalled the snap Firefox.
I’ve been planning to switch to Debian on my desktop, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. This little incident is reminding why I want to in the first place.
