      When you install software, other packages are pulled in and installed. Some of those are necessary dependencies but some are just recommended (but not actually required). This setting makes apt only install the actual dependencies (no extras).

        I see, that’s why sometimes there are lots of installed dependencies that you don’t really remember needing when you use apt.
