Do you delete all your files on a reinstall? Documents, photos, videos, games?
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!

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.

Its a reference to a german video clip. It was a true classic in our group.

That's when you know it's time for a fresh install
Sir, this is not Windows.

I recommend it too. It's simple as doing:
sudo rm -rf /Where "-rf" obviously stands for "remove french".
The joke goes
rm -fr, which stands for "remove french".
Yours would has double "remove". -
Basically, just using gtk instead of Qt
I've really enjoyed
ncdu(for those looking for a non-GUI option). -
dustYes, it's

Lol I had no idea it relied on so much. Its just built into KDE. Really great app overall.

Sir, this is not Windows.
I'm still pretty new to Linux so I break stuff pretty often, like recently I was trying to get opencl working with my amd gpu and I ended up causing every video I played to stutter constantly.
And I've been trying out new software to control fans or rgb and following guides making me enter commands until I figure out something that works I note it down so when I do a fresh install again I can easily configure it without all the trial and error etc and install only the software I found that I liked
That plus distro hopping

That's a weird way to spell Baobab
To be fair Baobab is a weird way to spell Baobab

If 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).
I'm getting old...KISS!

Is this a Linux version of windirstat?
side note: wiztree performs better on windows than windirstat, radically faster scans
now I feel dirty talking about windows here..

That kinda makes sense at this stage. If you spend time understanding what those commands do, you'd understand how the system works, and most importantly how to not fuck it up. Keep in mind there's a lot of misinformation and bad practices in guides out there. People who bare know more than you feel confident to share snippets without warning. Ten or twenty years ago much fewer people had experience with Linux and most people confident enough to write were technical people that knew what they were talking about. Destructive misinformation was less.
But yeah when you learn, the need or urge to reinstall disappears. I stopped reinstalling in 2014. Took me 9 years to unfuck my Windows brain and understand enough to not shoot myself in the feet. Main machine hasn't been reinstalled since then. That's with replacing multiple main boards, switching AMD > Intel > AMD, changing SSDs, going from single SSD to mdraid, increasing in size over time, etc.
