I think trying to track down 11 to 16 years of creeping bloat now is pretty much a lost cause, but one thing I notice: > The 20 largest packages on 33 is: [snip] > 47955205 qt5-qtwebkit > 60158710 webkit2gtk3 [snip] > 165482197 qt5-qtwebengine [snip] > 271515808 firefox Having 4 different web engines on the Spin definitely does not help. qt5-qtwebengine is the one that logically should be there, the others are bloat. Of these, Firefox is the largest and even overall the second largest package on the Spin (and that does not even include the size of the separate firefox-langpacks package that should be added to the Firefox size). It is entirely unnecessary on the KDE Spin because we already have Falkon: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1920298 webkit2gtk3 was probably dragged in by the Anaconda → Yelp → WebKitGTK dependency chain. I blame Anaconda for that dependency bloat. (Of course, the Anaconda web UI will make the situation even worse there, in that one of the above will become required by Anaconda to even just display its UI. I think switching to Calamares should be seriously considered at least for the KDE Spin.) As for qt5-qtwebkit, I am not sure what dragged this in on F33. We have been trying to get rid of QtWebKit uses. I do not know yet what dragged this in on F33 and whether that has been fixed since.
