Switching from Microsoft Windows to Linux is one of the best decision I ever made.
Thank you to the thousands of Debian volunteers. You are amazing people ❤️
That’s how much space the whole of Debian takes up. Every package for every supported architecture.
A bare minimum installation of Debian (meaning just command-line with a minimal number of programs) is probably around 1GB or so? They recommend at least 4GB space for a server install and 10GB for a desktop.
I find it a surprisingly low value. I can store all the current debian packages in my storage media at home, that’s crazy! FOSS really tends to be lean and efficient.
How do you mean low value? I definitely see value in being able to have every package available offline in certain settings.
Maybe you got a cabin with a sick (single player) gaming setup but no internet (I dunno I’m spitballin’) and you want to do some updates.
Pack up a drive with everything possible and make it happen!
I think they meant low value as in low number, said in a positive way (16gb being a lower number than expected rather than a comment on the quality of it) at least that’s how I read it
