The always huge and killing my system space:
- pacman cache
- docker bullshit
- flatpaks
- journalctl files!

I don't think you'll need to do that, unless you are planning to download files that are over 4Gb long and/or you are using a potato that has less than 1 Gb of ram.
t. I've set my entire ram into a ramdisk, and the performance actually IMPROVED compared to not setting a ramdisk at all.
I don't think they meant forcing themselves because their RAM would fill up, but because their stuff would be gone after rebooting if they didn't move it.

In Germany "du hs" is considered an insult and I think that's beautiful.

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted @VonReposti Cheese? That's a James May job.
Lol, I love me some James May saying "cheese", but I was more referring to the old Futurama episode where Bender goes back to Mars University. One of his signature catchphrases in that episode is "Cheese it!"

I use
du -hs * | sort -hThis tool is amazing https://github.com/KSXGitHub/parallel-disk-usage

I use
du -hs * | sort -hIf you need a more interactive method, gdu is awesome. And if you're using btrfs, btdu gives preliminary results instantly (which get more precise over time).

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted Sorry I did not get this reference. I'm not a Futurama fan. I don't know why.
️But I know BÄÄM cheese!
It is totally valid that you are not. We all have our preferences.
With that being said, I don't get the "BÄÄM" reference. Hehe.

Looks like the Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer but for KDE.
That's a weird way to spell Baobab

I'm here to promote
fclones. I've used it twice and recovered over a terabyte on my NAS the last time I used it. I'm not affiliated. Hyperspace for Mac is similar (but different) and I haven't used it, but it was developed by my favorite nerd podcast host. I'm planning to test it out eventually, but the latestfclonesrun was only about a month ago, so it doesn't make sense to try it yet.Fclones is a great tool, but it's for finding duplicate files and replacing them with sym-/hard-/reflinks.
I recommend using the --cache option to make subsequent runs extremely quick.

That's when you know it's time for a fresh install
Do you delete all your files on a reinstall? Documents, photos, videos, games?

These tools are also useful for finding large files in your home directory. E.g. I've found a large amount of Linux ISOs I didn't need anymore.

I usually keep important stuff on my server but things like games and stuff I purge with the fresh install and just download the games I'm actively playing, also helps clear up any issues from installing random junk during the months between as I settle on what programs I like

Separate partitions for / and /home, save all your data, configs, etc. but you can still distrohop!
