    I’ll bite, I don’t mind making an ass out of myself.

    I’ve done installs of linux where the fact the internet connection was shit slowed it down. why is the fucking ·iso 4gb if it still needs shit from the internet?

        To add to that: Some years ago, “remixing” installation/ive isos was kinda popular (changijg defaukts, installing software etc.). The first step was to bring the system up to date. After that, the actual installation process only downloaded small, incremental changes (depending on how long you waited).
