Really, the metric we should be looking at is (f+a)/b where f is some subjective weighted measure of functionality, a of aesthetic value and b describes the bloat.

[-] Melody@lemmy.one 2 points 3 days ago

No, (f+(0.5*a))/b.

Aesthetics should never get as many points as functionality.

  1. That's a personal preference. Many people do care about aesthetics and I don't think invalidating their taste is fair. Hence, if you wanted to add factors accounting for that preference, you'd have to define some additional variable for it.
  2. If a is a subjective measure of aesthetic value - as it must be, since taste is a subjective thing - you might as well include the factor already.
  3. If a is normalised against some fixed scale, but bloat (having effectively no upper limit) is impossible to normalise, it would be more reasonable to increase f instead in order to model the fact that a larger distro may also come with more functionality.
  4. You don't need the extra parentheses around 0.5*a
  5. We're both fucking nerds and I love it

  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
