From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Guess what if you installed a DE, other than the tiling ones, it came with bloat.

You probably also use systemd, another infamous piece of bloatware. /s

Gentoo has less bloat than Arch if really want to get into nitpicking.

I use systemd, but I do not use a DE.

Just because they contain bloat, doesn't mean they should, and that more should be added.
