Sayori meme representing Linux users. Sayori is disgusted by text reading “receiving pre-installed bloatware” and instead approves “accumulating bloatware over time”. Bloatware refers to unused packages.

Edit: You are so kind to give me advice on how to remove bloatware, but I don’t need it :D

    I actually use NixOS, but my configuration also accumulates packages I will no longer use. Even worse, these packages will be reinstalled wherever I use that config!

      Use nix run/nix shell and only add to the config when you’ve used that a lot for the same command.

      Then clean up the config…someday.

      You can try deleting old profiles and then garbage-collect the installation, only the last generation will remain and you’d get your space back.
