Love to see upgrades with a negative net size lmao. Software should get more optimized with time, not more bloated. Oop, just got the gnome console popup notification saying that my install command finished running, sweet -- it took as long as making this post

I'm not a programmer by any means, but I'm guessing, they are just removing old redundant features and code, but I could be very wrong here.

I keep forgetting to run apt autoremove to save even more space.

I'm so used to it I never realized it's unusual.

Exactly. Same here. The fact that „linux“ isnt a product that has to have the shiny new thing after every update and has no deadlines to hold and no manager to keep happy makes it a fundamentally different thing which actually is very much in line with efficiency ideas, the idea of progress and evolution as a whole. At least thats how I view it.

The shiny new thing can be better code to do the same thing.
