  • While reading, I was thinking about the time it took me the last time I installed Linux, and I agreed with the author: it took me several hours.

    Then I remembered why it took me so long: I wanted to install the most minimal Void Linux configuration possible with graphical session on a 16 years old laptop that was already too underpowered to run Windows XP when it got out, so I pondered every package installation (do I really need this to make it work? It’s 10 MB, that’s a bit heavy…) and had to tinker a bit with the drivers to get it to work just right.

    Installing Fedora on my main laptop however took 15 minutes, from booting to having a functional system, 20 if you count the iso download and the copy on a USB stick.

    Not talking about pirating anything, btw. Just making hypotheses about a purely imaginary scenario.
