      Gentoo users be like: Your system is underperformant and unoptimized. Have you tried Gentoo, and compiling all the packages?

      Other users be like:
      Have you tried Slackware?
      Have you tried Damn Small Linux?
      Have you tried Linux From Scratch?
      Have you tried hand-optimizing a 386BSD system with a Mach kernel? OOPS, that’s too far!

      Honestly making sure my PC only has software installed that I actually use is important to me because my internet is super slow. It took me over 1h yesterday to do a system update. I don’t even wanna know how bad it would be if I had more than 2k packages, it’s already bad enough now with 1.1k

      I once installed whole blackarch repo in my machine, so I’m not sure if my 90gb installation was bloated or not
