Debian Genome in 20GB Space

I have tested minimum memory space for Gnome Desktop with lot of useful application.

One need at least 20GB.

/root at least 18GB

/home at least 2GB

 

Mind you I have two swap partitions of 16GB and 8GB.

 

The applications added are

Htop

Ranger

Notepadqq

Xournal

AbiWord

Libre office already there

VLC

GIMP already there

Blende

Scribus

Handbrake

Clapper

Audacity

Variety with desktop effects.

KDENLive KDE deeivative

Spectacle KDE derivative

Sweeper

Bleachbit

Ulauncher is a good one.

I do not recommend bulky KDE or Plasma Desktop.

Consume memory and mounts slowly.

Instead install KDE utilities on top of Gnome Desktop.

This is now possible one gets best of both worlds.

Notable mentian is Variety I found accidently. It has small foot print but gives lovely animation and desktop effects.

I have avoided Vim and Emac controvacy.

Firefox, Bluefish and Thunderbird are my favorites.
