And that’s all, I’m happy since I was out of space.

    My / is a tmpfs.

    There is no state accumulating that I didn’t explicitly specify, exactly because I don’t want to deal with those kind of chores.

    The always huge and killing my system space:

    • pacman cache
    • docker bullshit
    • flatpaks
    • journalctl files!

      In case you don’t already know about it, paccache (part of the pacman-contrib package) will let you easily remove old packages from the pacman cache

    Clean all the cache downloads of Arch Linux Packages

    pacman -Scc

    Remove unused docker networks and images

    docker system prune --all

    Cleanup untracked git files that might be in .gitignore such as build and out directories (beware of losing data, use “n” instead of “f” for a dry run)

    git clean -xdf

    Do an aggresive pruning of objects in git (MIGHT BE VERY SLOW)

    git gc --aggressive --prune=now

    Remove old journal logs, keeping last seven days

    journalctl --vacuum-time 7days

    Remove pip cache

    pip cache purge

    This is why I’ve set up a ramdisk on ~/.cache and ~/Downloads – “free” automatic cleanup plus a tad more of performance because why not.

        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.

    A bit too much to just install one soft. Hard pass.
