enjoy your 1gb RAM idle usage
xd
but yeah, theyve gotten their netinst images down to a couple hundred mb now.
very impressive, only arch was known for having a tiny image in the past. now arch is bloat sitting at 650mb. disgraceful.
too bad laptops use proprietary hardware, so i need to install with the 3.7gb image to make sure i get all the nonfree drivers. at least i dont need to install the whole 3gb of extra drivers, though.
i havent decided on a de/window manager yet. on one hand i wanna go back to dwm but again i dont want to spend hours on end recompiling everything exactly to my tastes.
i also dont want to use i3 or bspwm because configs are bloat
kde is pretty but performance is almost as bad as gnome
so its either gonna be xfce or lxde for now.
