Media and games. Only loaded and run when I’m using them.

Package dependencies? How much of that is loading at runtime? How many security holes and exploits is some sub, sub, sub package going to introduce?

It’s true. And it’s worse since people worry about the security of the OS but download large batches of suspect apps and games.

I love this shit you know. Before Linux, I didn’t know that upgrading could decrease the amount of space it takes. And especially since I have a 512gb ssd only, this feels so good.

200G of packages is 200G I can’t use for games and media.

Today it’s 200MB of dependencies and next thing you know it’s 200PB! When will the madness stop!

Use Slackware! It doesn’t install any dependencies.
