    To be fair. Linux starts of super light, but if used as a general OS it becomes the epitome of bloat.

    Linux is like buying a car and just getting only the parking space.
    If you want to use your car, first you have to install the door and interior package. Then you get inside and have to install the seat package. But the seat has adjustment levers and uses the gear shifter library because it has levers already defined.
    Great now you also have a gear shifter too. But it turns out your transmission doesn’t work on the new version of the library so you have to also install an older package in parallel, so now you have 2 gear shifters, no biggie.
    Next up is the steering wheel, it uses the wheels package as a dependency (because both are round and can turn) so now you also have all the wheels. But those are summer tires, you need winter tires. You get the winter tire package but it needs an older version of the rim package. Unlucky for you, the download for the older rim package is unavailable, but you’re in luck. Some guy included that version of rims in his completed but unrelated car project. So you clone his car and rebuild the rim package yourself. You now have a whole extra car, but it’s not yours.

    By the time you got your one car ready to go, you have installed the parts for 7427 different cars, 27 complete vehicles and read 593 pages of documentation.
