  10 GB storage for default installation, 4 GB storage for commandline-only installation, 403 GB storage if you install every Debian package under the sun.

    I doubt it’s possible to have them all installed and have a functioning system anyway

      Don’t knock it 'til you try it!

      sudo apt install * -y

        Bonus points is you run a fork bomb in parallel and see how far you get. Throw an egg on your heat sink for fun.

      There are some packages that aren’t compatible, that are alternatives that do the same thing.

      MrBeast should try this

    Ahhhhh, ok.

    Wild… I think I might try to get my OS that big one day just for kicks

    Which you can’t even to because of conflicts/architecture availability.

      403GB is the compressed size of all packages for all architectures.

  That’s how much space the whole of Debian takes up. Every package for every supported architecture.

  A bare minimum installation of Debian is probably around 1GB or so? They recommend at least 4GB space for a server install and 10GB for a desktop.

    I find it a surprisingly low value. I can store all the current debian packages in my storage media at home, that's crazy! FOSS really tends to be lean and efficient.

      How do you mean low value? I definitely see value in being able to have every package available offline in certain settings.

      Maybe you got a cabin with a sick (single player) gaming setup but no internet (I dunno I’m spitballin’) and you want to do some updates.

      Pack up a drive with everything possible and make it happen!

        I think they meant low value as in low number, said in a positive way (16gb being a lower number than expected rather than a comment on the quality of it) at least that’s how I read it

        I mean low value as in a low number. Sorry for the confusion.

  I just looked, 11G on my laptop’s /

  Standard productivity stuff, I think the only extra thing is a flatpack of google earth which is 1.5G

  source

  • Mongostein@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yeah and I know one of my laptops only has a 250GB drive.

    I thought it was a typo at first, but it was explained. I get it now :)

• stefenauris@pawb.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Oh! That’s if you installed every piece of software they support! A regular installation is quite modestly sized, and install media is DVD sized.

  I can see where that would be confusing though hehe

  source

  • Mongostein@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yeah no doubt no doubt. I thought it was maybe a typo or something and was supposed to be 4.3, like someone hit 0 on the numpad :D

    It makes sense now

• Dagamant@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  That threw me for a second too. I thought “that’s a bit of a leap”. Like others said, it’s everything, not just the recommended packages.
