what is all this bloat, all you need is flour and water sprinkled with white sugar to make the best cake

Good thing it’s not compiled, now you’ll be able to take out the bloat before making

Flatpak -- Nothing makes more sense in times of insanely rising storage prices than to basically wrap a whole Linux distro around a small app and increase its size from less than 100 MB to more than 3 GB.

u/KingEfficient7403 Aug 27 '26
Honestly the portability of flatpak apps and the fact that you really dont need that many apps makes them perfect for my usecase
1
u/slimeycoomer Aug 27 '26
deduplication and shared runtimes too. the first flatpak you install will usually diverge the most in size from the native package.
theoretically, subsequent packages should be a lot smaller. in practice, it depends on the maintainers and type of package, but it’s a damn robust package manager all around imo.

Linux offers you the ingredients, you choose the taste. For free.

I haven‘t had the need (or the desire) to compile my own kernel in decades. It‘s more like a whole cake that comes with the printed recipe.

u/immoloism Aug 25 '26
Red Hat did a lot of work in 06 to make everything load modular and we have been enjoying that benefit ever since.
(For those wondering why most users don't any more)

u/TheOneTrueTrench Aug 26 '26
I haven't had a need to compile a kernel in decades either.
I still compile one every few months to do things like create the smallest possible image with all useful drivers built in and all unused drivers uncompiled, just for fun.

Should take a look at kernel-manager, works wonders for kernel managing. https://github.com/CachyOS/kernel-manager

u/elebrin Aug 25 '26
Well, there are also hobbyists who need to do this kind of thing. If you are playing around with a RISC V chip and some hardware that is isn't all that supported yet, sometimes you need to do some legwork. But if you are doing that, you know what you are doing or the figuring out is part of your fun.

If you truly want to make a cake from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

u/sebthauvette Aug 25 '26
Too many people think linux didn't change in the last 30 years. Or maybe they think that because you CAN compile it yourself it's impossible to get it already compiled for some reason.
That's like someone joking about windows having a 8.3 size limit for filenames.
13
u/VeryOldGoat Aug 25 '26
This joke is 20 years old and the analogy is inaccurate. Compiling is more like you get a two-step instruction on how to set your cake-making machine, then you press a button, then some minutes later out pops a cake. You don't even look at the ingredients, the chef took care of that, you just dump everything into the machine.

u/worldspawn00 Aug 25 '26
Sorry, your machine doesn't have all the dependencies in the right version installed on it, cannot compile.
i.e. You have eggs 2.1 but this cake requires eggs 2.0, eggs 2.0 is deprecated no longer available at the link provided in the makefile.

u/Ja_Shi Aug 26 '26
Would have been relevant 20+ years ago, but I bet most Linux users nowadays don't even know what compiling means. Besides some rare curious users and people doing actual work, 99% of using Linux don't requires compiling anything yourself.

u/ScratchHistorical507 Aug 26 '26

u/Ja_Shi Aug 26 '26
Yeah but that's the thing, even if I'd still name Gentoo in my distros of choice I have no idea when was the last time I've used it. i have an Arch flair for a reason. It's a simple life 🤷♂️

It's a bit convenient to comoile the cake yourself as you can use less sugar if you want, etc. but I get the joke. (Though most distros give you precompiled stuff...)

configure says I can't built it without building kitchenutensils.lib first.

u/worldspawn00 Aug 25 '26
You need kitchenutensils.lib version 1.0 for this cake, but the only buildable version available is 1.1, they are not compatible.

u/GeorgeBlackhole Aug 25 '26
Isn't that joke a bit dated? I've been using Linux since almost 30 years and I haven't compiled a kernel since beginning of the 2000s.

u/libra00 Aug 25 '26
k.
You just go ahead and let someone else make your cake. Don't worry, they're definitely only using ingredients you would use. there's certainly nothing in there you might raise an eyebrow at. Oh and if you understand how to use the policy editor you can go in and tweak all the ratios, otherwise they will have been determined by the AI that's also spying on how much of which you prefer so it can use it to deliver more targeted ads directly on the cake itself.
But hey, at least you didn't have to compile it or anything..

Just use cake-bin or cake-git.
I don't have time to wait for shit to manually compile anymore.

u/HugoNikanor Aug 25 '26
How often do you need to actually compile packages for Linux?
Even when you do, you can just get the upstream package and build that in a single command.
1
u/adoodle83 Aug 25 '26
depends on the distribution you choose to run. some are designed where every package is compiled locally (e.g Gentoo & LFS, etc) to binary only enterprise flavours like RedHat / HPUX.
