Got questions about GNU/Linux minimalism or want to share your journey? Jump in! Everyone is welcome here, no matter your experience level.

Bloatware slows things down, creates security issues, and makes software harder to use by piling on features most people donโ€™t need. Minimalist software, on the other hand, keeps things simple and efficient โ€” it respects your time and doesn't waste your deviceโ€™s resources.

Great resources for computing minimalism

Runit.
I'm a fan of BSD RC, but OpenRC is dogshit. It's not even a standalone program it's built on top of SysVinit.

Wrong, you can run standalone OpenRC with no SysVinit https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/blob/master/init-guide.md

I love technological minimalism! Just debloated my Windows 11 install and switched out Chrome for Firefox. I can feel my computer running faster already
