debloat mint

[mellow jay]

I want to get rid of the Mint bloat. The libre office, the firefox, the bluetooth e.c.t

99% of my work is done in the browzer which I install with the software manager, so I don't need a lot of these applications.

Easiest way to get rid of it all?

[plain stag]

sudo apt purge (list the packages, separate by the space) && sudo apt autoremove

or install barebones arch/debian and use cinnamon de

don't remove bluetooth

you will be sorry later.

Mint literally has no bloat

All apps are actually useful

Just because you do all your work in a browser doesn't mean you have to purge half of your apps

Cinnamon depends on some of them too

My browzer is not firefox

[mellow jay]

Can you elaborate? I've never used bluetooth EVER. If there are depandancies I would like to know

[nova stirrup]

then just sudo apt remove firefox lmao
also its spelled browser

[candid pollen]

remove bluetooth isnt gonna improve the OS in any way

[nova stirrup]

yeah

[candid pollen]

you can turn off the bluetooth service in startup apps if you insist

[mellow jay]

if the bluetooth application,is installed, it's taking up space on my drives correct? If I don't want it there, it's bloat.

[candid pollen]

there's literally just one bloaty thing in Mint. libreoffice

[nova stirrup]

its several MB... not bloat at all

[cold saffron]

Please use arch linux

Spending any time worrying about the space bluetooth takes up on the drive is far more "bloat" than leaving it there. If you have 40GB of storage total, it is still meaningless to remove programs that tiny

You also have to be careful with what packages you remove

One wrong removal and Cinnamon doesn't launch anymore
