A meme styled like the “I receive / you receive” Meme format. At the top, it says “Starting full system upgrade…”. On the left, under “I receive,” it says “Total Download Size: 5982.67 MiB” and “Total Installed Size: 22816.87 MiB.” On the right, under “You receive,” it says “Net Upgrade Size: –699.29 MiB,” making fun of the fact that Arch updates often reduce used space even though multiple gigabytes may be downloaded

No, that's not how compiling works. And yes, 6GB is wild. If I don't patch in a month, the download might be 2GB and the net will still be smaller.

I don't think I could get close to my Windows installation even if I installed literally every single package..
