  • You could do that, but I could argue that master/slave nomenclature isnt a good scheme for this anyway, since it doesn’t control any other branches. Unlike master and slave drives from the olden days.

    By all means go ahead and keep your naming schemes. It’s your own stuff that after all, that for some reason you felt the need to tell everyone about. However, I might recommend trying to move past it seeing as language has an impact on how people think, and being edgy doesn’t exactly have a good track record of producing the best people.





  • Anything KDE-related, it seems to me, makes you download a lot of other software that you don’t really need, and so I’d like to go another route if possible (not dissing KDE, it’s just not for me!).

    Are you sure these aren’t just dependencies? That’s the way of linux, do one thing, do it well. Since KDE uses qt, you likely need to install the libraries and a few other packages it might rely on.

    If it really is a bunch of stuff you don’t need, make sure you have “install recommended” disabled in whatever package manager you’ve got. I learned that the hard way when I installed texmaker and it tried to install 10GB of packages.
