    I also use KDE, and it is far from minimal, but as I recall my system is only half that with a full system upgrade!
    Some say creativity stuff takes much room, but for instance Blender is only ½ a gig.

    But maybe my system is bigger than I remember, because even at 40 gig it’s near irrelevant compared to the size of an SSD today, and with 1 gigabit internet the upgrades are fast anyway.

    IDK if there’s a way to see the size of my actual Linux install not counting 3rd party media or games?









  • Being radical is not a sign of being progressive in thinking and definitely not a sign of doing what is best.
    Being radical left (or right) is not to be more “modern” either.
    UK at the time was way more radical on both the left and the right side than most European countries, exactly because of FPTP. And it lead to politically unsustainable solutions. Again a sign of stupid policies, and a sub par form of governance.
    Nationalizing is radical, but it’s a double edged sword that can easily become a burden. It was already at that time an old fashioned socialist way of thinking.
    The more modern Social democracies of Scandinavia avoided nationalizing but used regulation instead. A model that has been proven on average to work way better.
    So again I’d say the UK politicians weren’t neither modern or clever in nationalizing industries, as I wrote in a previous post, and nationalizing an industry has nothing to do with modernizing it, on the contrary nationalized industries tend to become monopolies, and monopolies tend to stifle innovation.
    Also the improvements in the Social Democratic countries on health education and infra structure quickly surpassed the UK.
