I legit spent the afternoon the other day installing Linux on my first non-Raspberry Pi machine since 2007. It is a 13 year old laptop with NVidia GPUs (2). It went perfectly smoothly and Linux sees both GPUs. I tried Megabonk on it and it runs at 60FPS maxed out. I encrypted the drive. Bless you, Pop!_OS
I don’t know the size in bytes, haven’t cared much about it for some time now. It also very much depends on the definition of minimal. My minimal != your minimal.
I’m referring to use flags, which allow me to not have a bunch of features I don’t use compiled to begin with. Less code - fewer headaches.
I’m in this post and I like it.

Thoughts on Gentoo over something like Fedora? (Or whatever you’re using)
I run Gentoo.
It’s made my fundamentals stronger.
It allows me to run the minimal number of codepaths.
Every now and then it makes me happy. Sometimes proud of myself. All because I solved some problem that was helped by the mindset Gentoo had set up.
This is the exact way I feel about Gnu Guix_SD
If only nixos could be made minimal. The smallest install is hundreds of MB large. How small can gentoo get?
