It's amazing how insanely slow OSes can be too install, even without providing some of these things. I feel like getting a new Debian docker image to apt update takes forever now compared to 1995.

I mean, `apt update` is probably more tied to the sheer number of packages (and sometimes repos) that it has to reload in its database than anything about what's actually installed. Maybe also a function of what's installed to check for upgradable packages and check dependency trees, but that still seems like its own problem.
