Minimalism is not a lack of something. It's simply the perfect amount of something.

>No one needs a billion dollars
What if i wanted to buy a gallon of gas exactly 14 years ago in Zimbabwe? Surely you must admit that anyone who wasn't a trillionaire in Zimbabwe at that time was lacking the financial means to legally fill up a car. And don't start with the "US dollar not Simbabwe dollar" crap.

OP doesn't program, is a living regurgitating meme with no capacity for independent thought, and sucks cocks

I keep forgetting serial killers and feds browse this shithole

Never see people discuss oasis on these minimalist os threads. Recently installed and it's nice and quick and easy to wrap your head around.

github.com/oasislinux/oasis

Install nix on it to install all your necessary bloatware nonintrusively.

> fuck bloat coders
> REEEEEE Gentoo, Alpine, OpenBSD, LFS are TOO minimal I can't use this!

debian as a desktop OS is a meme
it's a server OS.

How much disk usage is minimalist?
I'm down to 3GB for my base install and my autistic "minimalist" tiling wm environment is configured via plaintext and C preprocessor.

who's got the time to recompile after every config change

you can't get newer versions of the software either

that doesn't even include a display server, a C compiler or a web browser.
What do you even use your computer for?

>doesn't know how distros even work
>doesn't know what netinstall is
KEK, what a fucking retard

>who's got the time to recompile after every config change
I have .0001 seconds to spare for compilation.
