Bare installation still has "bloatware"

[HegewaldK]

The Omarchy script has an option for a bare installation, but it will still install a lot of "bloatware" like docker, ruby, mariadb, rust, etc. Why is this still part of a bare installation?

I would say all in the development-install-folder but terminal.sh should not be part of a real bare installation.

As omarchy aims for a development-ready linux env, everything in development-install-folder makes sense to me.

Development ready for just a single type of developer: a ruby web developer. ;)

Don't get me wrong, I'm also a developer but I need a complete different set of tools: VSCode, Teams, Microsoft Azure and Excel, Devolution RDP Manager, Firefox, etc. Not everyone is a Ruby web developer out there.

If you want bare installation, install arch and configure everything yourself or deal with deinstalling a bunch of stuff

If there is an option for a bare installation I would expect that only these tools are getting installed that at least 80 percent of Omarchy users would really need. For everything else there is the default Omarchy installation with the full feature set - that would be perfectly fine.

The bare minimum for @dhh seems to be this. I think we should respect his vision.

If you want a bare installation, just download the arch iso, install hyprland yourself, and you won't be burdened with anything!

This distribution is specifically batteries included. In fact, if anything, this is tempting me to just kill that bare mode. It really isn't in the spirit of this project.

This is a poor argument, because you are downplaying all the other nice things you've curated into Omarchy. I understand now why my issue got closed so quickly though.

This is your distro and you can be as opinionated as you want, but it's dishonest and in bad faith to paint Omarchy without (docker, ruby, mariadb, rust, etc) as Arch + Hyprland.

Ok, it seems like I misread the manual and there was some miscommunication here as well. @ryanrhughes was kind enough to take the time to inform me on discord that the "bloatware" mentioned in OP are not actually pre-installed. Instead, we just have the options to install them.

In that case I'm actually fine with Omarchy as is.
