That's what, like 28MB? For a fucking operating system. Now windows uses like 60GB and just bloats from there.

Yes Windows is bloated AF but even Linux Mint has a minimum space requirement of 20G with 100G as the recommendation. Hell just my swapfile wouldn't fit in the largest partition supported by MSDOS 6.22 (2 Gigabytes BTW).

No preemptive multitasking, no 3D support of any kind, no usb or plug and play, no desktop compositing, no web browsing...and the list goes on and on. Desktop environments just do so much more now than in the WfW 3.11 days that a DE install 1,000 times the size of WfW is pretty much normal.

28 x 1000 is still just 28GB (less if you're counting 1gb = 1024mb...). Windows is a fat fuck :p
