I think the majority want bloatware and if you look at the typical Linux distro that is exactly what you get.  Although you can make Linux run from a floppy, it generally doesn't do much.  Not only do they add lots of functionality to the Linux kernel to make a distro which is arguably decent, but then they go further and instead of making a nice lean (as possible) full-featured OS, they go stick bundles of applications INTO THE OS DISTRO itself. Often WITHOUT the option of NOT installing them.  This is a real putoff!

Eh? Which distro does not give you the option of not installing the bundled apps? I've worked with RedHat, Debian and Gentoo and I selected what I wanted to install in all of them.


eg: Ubuntu doesn't, Puppy doesn't, Vector doesn't.
