How many packages do you have installed /g/?
Inb4 a bunch of screenfetching Arch-autists with bundled dbg and dev packages boasting about their ~500 packages. Sure that's enough for screenfetching and watching anime but that's it. Kys.

How many packages is too many packages?

Amount of packages is a dumb measure. If you need a ton of tiny dbg and dev packages it easily rockets to 3000. Then again, some distros like Arch combine the packages, so comparing the amount of packages is retarded.

this. In gentoo I just emerge gcc which counts as one installed package. On debian-based systems there are at least 10 if not more packages build from the same source tarball (various compilers, C library, documentation both free and nonfree etc)
>he doesn't install all packages in the repositories so he never has to deal with missing dependencies
24 explicit, 156 as dependencies

Packages: 2174

Yet in every fucking screenfetch bread there's the one clueless faggot (You)ing every Debian user with memearrow + number of packages. Hate those faggots.
Nothing against Arch but the community is outright retarded. If you ask Arch users the reason to use Arch, over half of them will answer "no bloat". Makes my blood boil.
