One person's "bloat" is another person's "batteries included".


Cinnamon includes all the batteries I've ever needed without feeling bloated


KDE Wallet though?


Funny, I used to think it was bloat but then I got to use it to store passwords for remote servers accessed with ssh, and now it's a nice 'batteries included' for me, as GP mentioned. It has become so because it is nicely and seamlessly integrated.


Gnome has the same thing, and it's equally as annoying. Also you can just disable it if you really don't want it.


What about it?
