Use a package manager. I would personally recommend Synaptic.

Honestly don't understand how you can justify that many packages, there isn't really a point to installing literally hundreds of packages you don't need, I have much better uses for my ssd then that

>>57969912

All I wanted to do was use kde texlive and haskell and now I have one gorillion packages installed

That's your fault. I've installed twice, ever. First install was ubuntu, second install was me moving from ubuntu to arch. Never needed a reinstall to fix my OS

1295

And recent I was thinking that was too many and wanted to clear out some packages I don't need any more.

1443
not really sure what I'd do with anything more
might try a different DE or something I guess, but why bother if it's just out of "do moar?"

If this were to happen, it would take your computer with it.
Networking is so simple you can literally make a new internet starting from your home to your neighbors with shit sitting in a spare parts drawer.

1994 packages here. It doesn't even matter. I have everything I need.

>>57970505
Ok, but how to count them? I can easily list all packages, used or not, and grab detailed info on specific packages matching a string(s), but how to count them all without brute force?

Listen here you litte bloatfag.

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the NEETs, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret Gentoo installations on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kernel commits. I am trained in package management and I’m the top maintainer in the entire US NEET forces. You are nothing to me but just another target platform. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, KDE shill. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of NEETs across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, faggot.

This pretty much.

Fixed.

I have 2300 and I don't use most of them so they don't fuck with my idling ram or boot time. It just uses up about 3GB of HDD. Fuck it I allocated 35GB to the partition /usr is on like a madman. It will get cleaned when I go to Fedora 25.

>if you have less than 2500 potential points of failure

Number of packages depends a lot in which distro you are using, some distros, like Debian, split the packages more than others. Basically OP is a faggot but we already knew that.

I installed gentoo with around 1k packages.
Shit was all nice and ricced up but decides to go kaput one day.
I have ubuntu mate installed rn and it JUST WERKS

WHY IS RASPBIAN SUCH BLOATED SHIT?

I tried clearing out all the garbage I don't need, and it still has an absurd amount of packages.

>>57969912
never in my life i had more than 2300 packages installed, and that time i basically broken a debian install and had kde gnome and xfce installed and not properly removed. Normally i have around 2100 and it fits all my basic needs, i install something if i need it and often remove it after i wont need it anymore.

Meaning you can just hook up a normally wired cable and use it and the NICs will turn your normal cable into crossover cable.
