I’m curious to see. im at 1203. Need to debloat soon. (qemu is destroying my computer)
edit: I changed computers! My new package count is 518.
According to Fastfetch…
Packages: 1436 (pacman)
Packages: 1220 (pacman), 27 (flatpak)
But thats on a pretty recent clean install. Im gonna manage to get past the 2000 eventually
Packages: 2042 (pacman), 8 (flatpak)
I’m using this machine for development, my stack pulls a lot of dependencies apparently.
Also I usually don’t remove make dependencies.
No bloat here, I won’t need to debloat soon

Laptop with EOS Cinnamon.
Relatively fresh install. Possible growth in number, I suppose. But I pretty much have what I need installed.

1156 but so misleading. if a command was invented that showed how many apps/programs you had only it would be a more telling number: base install + stuff you added.
One app program might be 8 rundep packages so it seems meaningless to make sense of the numbers. In other words package # is an arbitrary number.
Neofetch also says “8” flatpak packages but it’s really just 2 apps plus all the crap flatpak drags in.
Then if you uninstall something and have all the debris in your cache and orphans and -Qtdq stuff then the inactive stuff is still in the --fetch total(?).

I have 2198, 14 flatpak and 11 brew.
This feels more like an inverted penis measuring competition… starting with the idea that 1203 is somehow ‘bloated’… to bring out the paranoia in people who keep hearing how bad bloat is…
Someone comes up with 1600, then the next guy comes up with 1060 and everyone replies ‘Niiiiice’.
Let’s see who has the smallest
