Not really - there’s plenty of use cases where running memory intensive stuff like that isn’t an issue and running a small footprint distro makes more sense than, say, a maximalist, fully featured desktop distro.
I’m not trying to run a media centre or play games on my 11 year old MacBook!
Point taken!
I don’t think the lite distros are to blame for performance drops in that case, are they? Unless it’s down to a lack of system optimisation.
Fair enough!
I’ve done some blindingly stupid things with my installs in the past, and I’m not angling to try any in the near future - I guess I’ll just embrace the reinstallation game!
That’s a blast from the past! I used to run #! On my 701…
So if there’s additional repositories does that mean that there is likely to be core functionality which would be broken if it stops being maintained?
