mfs with a 16 core cpu, 64gb ram and 10tb storage be like
This, MFers will have the most top spec computer and worry about bloat while I install random shit for fun on my 320gb had drive that's also my boot drive on my core 2 duo computer with 3 gigs of ram that struggles to run firefox and thunar at the same time (also cinnamon is the best running on my computer from my testing, xfce is laggy af and I'm not even going to mention kde, bspwm or any other since the, either lag beyond usability (KDE) or just straight up crash my computer into tty when i try to launch them (bspwm), one massive note is that I'm using software rendering since the GPU on the core 2 duo is struggling with even drawing the boot screen)
Literally have probably a ton of overlap software from installing the desktop environments and other random (well not very random, stuff I used on windows before) software that I don't bother googling the deleting commands since apt installed them all as snaps because I never noticed in my first three months of use, fuck you Ubuntu, Xubuntu and all other derivatives, this shit makes me not want to use Ubuntu ever again (not like i can, my pc is fucked and no other drive is bootable, i can't even boot an install usb)
You might want to check out the i3 tiling window manager. Shit's under 50MB and makes every other DE I've ever used feel bloated and laggy.
Yeah, I'm not actually not very into the tiling window manager thing, I tried bspwm just for the sake of wanting to try one but I since lost interest, I'll keep it in mind though and maybe come back and try it one day
to be fair - core 2 duo computer with 3 gigs of ram - you're using the desktop I had in 2009. At some point, do you think that it's time to upgrade? no, wait, I think I had a core 2 quad actually...
