I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.

Bleachbit

Just an update: following the very helpful suggestions in this thread has gotten my drive usage down to 16%! Super happy about that, y’all rock!

You joke, but I actually did remove locales with BleachBit, and then changed pacman.conf to skip the unnecessary ones. Saved me about 400MB!

Yeah, that’s pretty much how I solve all my problems lol

That’s the second recommendation for qdirstat, so it’s definitely on the tomorrow list!

I will check that out! Mostly I’ve been looking for something to determine what files are no longer in use, like old configs for programs I don’t even have anymore, etc.

Great suggestions, that will absolutely be my tomorrow project!

I’ll have to make a meme about the time I deleted my partition tables one day lol

Yeah, my other drive is a 1TB HDD, and I do have all my media/documents/pictures/etc. there, I think what’s filling up my drive is actually plugins for Ardour lol, plus I might have too many Things I Definitely Need™. Maybe the real solution to my storage problems is to look within… (like do I seriously need No Man’s Sky installed all the time for the once every three months that I play it?)

But yeah, I wanna set up a NAS for this sort of thing, next time I have money lol
