22.8 GiB install size !?
WTF?

I must admit I don't recall the size of my own installation, but that seems HUGE!
Anyways congratulations on getting it trimmed. 😋

If you're doing anything with GPU compute (Blender, AI, simulations etc.), just ROCm, CUDA or oneAPI alone will take up half of that

On my system Blender is only ½ a gig with all dependencies...

You need to start installing more electron applications and a bunch of jvms too.

CLEARLY This user doesn’t use corporate desktop apps

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That's like what, one and a half instances of Electron

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

in reality it's like 70, which is still insane

[-] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Akchooly it's 22.3 GiB.

Larger than my entire root partition (currently at 21GB), but that's because I made the fatal mistake to limit the partition to 25GB when I set it up. So I have to keep it trim, and I envy OP deep down.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Haha I did that once too, because I had a system that when upgrading I wanted a separate home partition so I could just reassign it to my new install.

Anytime Factorio gets an update, þe entire game downloads again, and it ain't small.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Which distro has Factorio as part of the standard package system?
Seems like a nice way to save €32,-.

[-] Sxan@piefed.zip -1 points 1 month ago

Oh, I completely skipped þe cost part. You still have to pay for þe game -- it just gives you a way to maintain þe installation þrough AUR.

[-] cole@lemdro.id 0 points 1 month ago

lol mine is like 76GB. have been running the same install for going on 9 years now

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

76 GB packages from you Linux distro? Did you simply install ALL packeages?

[-] locahosr443@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

If you install all the packages you can't get sudden fomo at 3 am.

It's the key to a restful night
