Why do you care about the number of packages and memory usage

>Why do you care about the number of packages and memory usage so much?
I don't
>Do you guys do anything else than screenfetch on your virtual machines and play video games on Windows 10?
I spend most of may day in programming. Gaming is a shitty, unproductive distraction. Also, I don't use windows since 2013
>Every damn Arch user seems to have ~800 packages installed and use the lightest WM available and once they see a picture of someone else having +1000 packages or using an actual DE they lose their shit because Xfce uses 50MB more RAM than their dumb masochist WM. It's 2017 and you have at least 8GB of RAM, who the fuck cares about ~50MB.
What they don't realize is that if you have a working WM, a panel, a session manager and a file manager you already have a DE. DE is everything you want it to be.

Everyone keeps saying this but every time I try to switch to a WM, configuring my complicated audio/video setup is pain and I'm also lacking accessibility features like easy keyboard configuration. I need to plug & unplug a shit ton of displays and audio devices (inputs & outputs) on a daily basis and a fully-featured DE makes this much easier.

>720 packages Arch boot for fetch
>3400 packages Debian install for professional use

I wonder which one is the "winfag". I'd post a fetch but I'm on mobile, shitposting from bed.

It's not complicated, it's just tedious. Install a full fledged DE if your hardware can afford it
