This is the biggest turn off for me. I don’t want to be productive. i dont use office I just want a OS that comes empty and lets me install whatever I want.
>>109884065then uninstall it
>>109884065>I don't want office softwarejust don't use it dumbo
Then why would you install Mint rather than something like Debian or Fedora Everything?
Install Gentoo.
>>109884065If you don't like LibreOffice tools then you're crazy desuBut yeah just install a super minimalist version of arch and then set up Cinnamon desktop environment if it bothers you that much.
>>109884108>if you don't like installing >1GB of shit to EDIT FUCKING TEXT then you're crazy desuFuck you
>>109884143If you just want to edit text then use Cinnamon's text editor you absolute goofball, LibreOffice is for people who need to visualize data or organize text beyond basic text. Like bro if you're one of those "everything is bloat" people then just use Arch, actually just build your own distro on top of the kernel.
>>109884143if you want minimalism why would you use just works distro?
>>109884065You would probably like Arch Linux, but you have to be able to read and not have a phobia of white text on a black background.
>>109884194>you have to be able to readthat's gentooarch wiki is barely a documentation, more like a note
>>109884228I dunno I was talking about archinstall, most "people" cant even get past that in current year.
>>109884252>archinstallso arch has installer now
>>109884309>now
>>109884065at some point you'll need word or excel anyway
>>109884191This not only that but linux mint is so damn minimal for something that is useful
>>109884351nah, the homepage https://archlinux.org/ still uses https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide page as the default install method
>>109884411archinstall script has shipped on the iso for years at this point however
>>109884143Documents aren't text. Even ancient RTF documents contain significantly more formatting and layout information than markdown or HTML alone are capable of.
sudo apt purge libreoffice* then sudo rm -rf/* to clear any bloat the packages left behind
>>109884455True, but does LibreOffice really need to be as big as it is? Why can't I just install Writer separately if that's all I need to do? I wish there were more lightweight options for rich text without resorting to LaTeX.
>>109884478now my disk is squeaky clean thank you anon
>>109884065people install distros like this because they like the stuff it comes with.if you don't want your OS to come with anything, just install arch or debian
>>109884065Install Gentoo
>>109884891more like compile gentoo am i right
>>109884904FEATURES="getbinpkg"
FEATURES="getbinpkg"
>>109884065>muh bloatthen just do LFS retarded placebonigger everything else is bloat
>>109884065Build your own Linux with Yocto.
>>109884065You can just remove the programs you don't want... It's not that hard.
I use arch or fedora.For de i use plasma.You can unbloat plasma if you install only plasma-desktop, it come with lot of useless bloat.Usually I only install konsole and chrome.
>>109885403konsole is gay though
>>109884143try artix or devuan (non jew distros) and install the zen kernel. alpine also works.
>>109884065ok well just install debian then. mint is just debian with a bunch of things preinstalled for you
