It's still a ~1GB image and ~600MB installed.
That's apparent size; the size taken on disk is ~5 GB (including command line tools).
Put Windows/MacOS on it and you'll use 3 GB just booting up :p.
Is the install size something to worry about?
Yes, this is 15MB on disk size for your whole machine. We agree that the trade off is worth it for the utility and speed improvements
That's... wow. A full install of Windows 95 with Office 95 is smaller than that.
"I need to share files but can't spare 40MB of space for OS" is quite rare case tho
yep, lets not forget 700mb + executables...
The page says "Installed Size ~60.95 MiB". Is that inaccurate?
Around 159 GB, it's surprisingly small.
