If you have a laptop with a small disk, let's say 128 or 256 GB, space *will* matter. Having a bunch of things you don't use/need is inefficient.
If you are so low on storage to care about that, you will probably not use btrfs and snapshots, so we can remove that from the discussion. Currently my install takes about 17GB (not taking into account snapshots) for about 3300 packages. At best. if I were to trim the package I do not need, I could probaby gain a few GB with a lot of effort, micro-managing stuff. But is that really worth it ? Not in my opinion. Does having a lot of packages you do not use slow down the system ? I don't think so as it is not going to affect startup times significantly. Though it can be painful if you have a slow internet connection. That being said, it would still be good to have a mode of operation of the distro that can keep things fairly minimal without the fear of breaking stuff. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
