    Vision 3.0 is a 35GB download, making it slightly heavier than many alternative Linux distributions, despite being based on the classic Debian project.

    Debian based, but 35GB 😬

      “slightly heavier”? wouldn’t that actually make it the heaviest? I mean hell the Omarchy dotfiles clock in at like 8 gigs and I thought that was a lot but 35gig download? good lord.

        As @[email protected] said in another comment:

        They explain that in the article…

        The OS includes a wide array of additional software and over 200 game-oriented packages tied to the classic Commodore brand. It also features a modern implementation of the BASIC programming language.

        Still feels a bit excessive to front load all of it instead of making it an optional download on initial setup.
