Pls no I just did a minimal Ubuntu install on my MS Surface and I guarantee I’m going to need to reinstall it at least 2 more times as I bork the entire OS trying to customize GNOME.

Dear liberals, you claim you installed "minimal" Ubuntu, yet you use GNOME instead of XFCE. Curious.

I like bling but I don’t like bloat on my hard drive. Checkmate mister.

I don't like bloat on my hard drive

So you installed GNOME? This is not the checkmate you think it is.

I think the fact that you’re so bothered by me using default GNOME but wanting to pick my own apps is reason enough to keep it. Cry more about my personal decisions 😄

I'm bothered by the fact that you made a statement that's not internally consistent and contradicts itself. Like whatever you like, but if you're going to cite a reason, be accurate. Don't be so dense.

How is "GNOME is bloat" an objective fact? Maybe to you GNOME is bloat because you don't use it. But they use GNOME, so it's not bloat to them.

Conversely, if they don't use XFCE, then having XFCE installed by default is a bloat to them.

Don't be so dense.

Pot, meet kettle.

HOLY FUCK, you insufferable redditors, this is why people say “you know what? Let’s not use Linux, it is a silly OS”

People like him should stay on Reddit. That entitled fuck wanted me to apologize because he didn’t like how I worded my comment lmao

It’s clear you don’t hang around many people if you expect everyone to make zero mistakes.

I don't expect people to make zero mistakes, I expect people to not be belligerent when they make mistakes

I expect you to be a decent human being but my hopes were too high unfortunately.

GNOME isn't inherently bloated, though; the GNOME circle apps may ne bloat if you don't need them. Liberals? Where!?
