    @eschaton Proprietary software is much more likely to kill you before you get that old really, so I wouldn't worry.

    @DrRyanSkelton @zero My 780 Ti is the best, as it at least respects my freedom, as it isn't digitally handcuffed and I run free software on it.

    @fivespeed @kev Trisquel GNU/Linux-libre respects the users freedom and seems to be little more than half the size of Ubuntu for the MATE version; https://trisquel.info/en/download

    There is also Trisquel Mini, which is 1.5GiB.

    DE's have really bloated up recently, but at least the netinstall is still only 62 MiB (it was 49MiB in 10.0.1).

    @masterbuck @kev @ikt >you can download 6 GB in under 12 minutes.
    That's assuming no overhead and no retransmissions.

    Assuming 6% overhead (arbitrarily chosen - generally overhead due to HTTP would be at least 10% I guess, but 70Mbit/second is entirely artificial throttling, considering 100BASE-TX is 27+ years old and 1000BASE-T is 25+ years old).

    Calculating with GNU units;
    You have: (70Mbit * 0.94)/second
    You want: minutes/6GB
    reciprocal conversion
    * 12.1580547112462
    So, it would take over 12 minutes, which is more than a ⅙th of an hour.

    For 6GiB files (i.e. the proper gigabyte, also known as gibibyte that works out to);
    You have: (70Mbit * 0.94)/second
    You want: minutes/6GiB
    reciprocal conversion
    * 13.0546118419453

    @kev Fun alert; If you don't like what I point out, please prove me wrong (spoiler; I'm right).


    Since when they started to bundle a massive amount of proprietary software that takes the users freedom by default?; https://releases.ubuntu.com/24.04.2/ubuntu-24.04.2-desktop-amd64.list

    As you can see, the massive proprietary software collection of proprietary derivative works of Linux (with also a handful of free programs, with source code, under GPLv2-compatible terms) that is called "linux-firmware" is 344.9 MiB compressed; https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2

    There is also a lot of GPLv2-infringing proprietary malware from nvidia disguised as graphics drivers, for example, just *one* of the packages weighs at 291.7 MiB compressed; https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-550/550.120-0ubuntu0.24.04.1

    Also bundled is the proprietary intel sound card software collection, weighing at "only" 5.2MiB compressed; firmware-sof-signed_2023.12.1-1ubuntu1.4_all.deb (although it is probably source-available and partially under an "open source" development model, all non-SBC computers refuse to run the software unless it is signed with an intel signature, denying freedoms 0, 1 & rendering 3 moot; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#four-freedoms - therefore the software is rendered proprietary).

    Of course, bonus proprietary points from including GPLv2-incompatible Linux modules (zfs).


    I'm not interested in downloading 6GiB of iso to work out how many GiB of proprietary software there is, but you can see the size of (some of the) bundled proprietary malware from nvidia+broadcom with;

    @RustyCrab terraforge3d is proprietary software - it uses the MIT expat license, sublicensed with a proprietary CoC.

    But that should be obvious if you look and see >github >discord >tweet >windows 10 screenshots

    @LukeAlmighty @loyhena It would only be a good thing if people didn't use "open source" ((not actually) source-available proprietary software) and instead used free software.

    No he does not.

    It appears that he knows Linux is only a kernel and therefore it appears he intentionally explained many things wrong.
