That's the recommended disk size available, NOT the actual amount required. Take your love of Mint - Its recommended to have 20GB available, yet the OS on its own doesn't take that much once installed. And Windows doesn't need 32GB either. Mint is getting larger with almost every Version, many will remember when Mint would easily fit on a 700MB CD and still have room ( Linux Mint 7 for example) As for ISO sizes: Windows 10 3.5GB Other linux OS’s are larger than Windows, the ISO for CentOS ( a real Enterprise not the beginners mint) 4.2GB MAC’s have even larger than Windows, 5.5GB for MacOS Mojave 10.14.2 An example of sizing, a W10 I have here, has a couple of office programs as well as a ServerOS running in a VM, total space used 32.1GB. |

Is that why boot times take so long? Does it have to read all the lines to boot or just a certain set of them? |

Are you saying Microsoft would be wrong? :eek: They are quite clear that “System requirements for installing Windows 10” Are Hard drive space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS 32 GB for 64-bit OS Read all about it HERE (www.microsoft.com) it’s perfectly clear to me. As for Mint, you must remember that along with the OS comes Libre Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, VLC Media Player and a heap of other stuff. Just the Spyware is missing. :) |

FOR INSTALLING -- That's totally different to whats needed to work. Obviously no point in trying to explain you don't understand how a OS installs and uses required space. Looking at MINT It RECOMMENDS 20GB of space, yet it doesn't take up that amount. WHY ?? 9365 the OS comes Libre Office, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp, VLC Media Player and a heap of other stuff. yeah all the CRAP making the ISO's larger and larger, ALL the OS's have extra's bundled in. Tell me this -- If Windows has to have 32GB + drives, why does the W10 I have in the workshop not only contain W10 Pro, BUT also runs a Server OS in a VM, and ONLY uses 32GB, along with two different Office programs quite a few documents and Pictures and god knows how many other programs installed ??? EXPLAIN THAT !! |

Maybe you should stick to what you know (which appears not to be much - technically wise anyway) So the actual Question you have avoided, why does MINT say its recommends 20GB of disk space when its not that large once installed. ?? HINT: Its then same reason MS recommends 32GB . ;) |

HINT: Its then same reason MS recommends 32GB . ;) You don’t think the problem could be your comprehension . If you go back and read my post again you will find that I was responding to 1101’s post that “how much things have changed when a 'lite' download is 1 . 4Gb” I agree, and pointed out that the Win10 OS needed 32gig these days . The background to that response was that my first computer run on MSDOS 3 . 1 and was supplied with a 20mb HDD which I upgraded to a whopping 40meg one . I never filled the 40meg one despite having word processors, spreadsheets, drawing programmes, etc . installed . However, you spit the dummy and rush to MS’s defense when the facts were black and white, nothing twisted at all . And to answer you question: So the actual Question you have avoided, why does MINT say its recommends 20GB of disk space when its not that large once installed . ?? Since when does 20gb exceed 32gb? I’m comparing the most bloated and Win10 bolts in . :) |
