Until flatpak becomes the de-facto standard, we’ll have to cleanup our system from time to time (I’m not talking about apt-clean !)
anyway, linux is not windows, sofiguring out which packages haven’t been used in a long time can be automated without a lot of effort. specifically, with apt and yum you can fetch the timetsamp of all installed binaries and figure out their corresponding packages.
But why work so hard when you’ve got an open source project who does all that?
UnusedPkg“…a diagnostic tool to find the unused packages in Linux systems, sorted by their idle time. This helps to find unused packages which could be manually removed to free some space in the filesystem. It supports any apt-based distribution (tested on Debian and Ubuntu), Slackware and blackPanther OS…” Emilio Pinna
Installation clone UnusedPkg’s repository run ./unusedpkg get a nice diagnosison all installed packages :wink:P.S:If you’ve never heard about flatpak, now is the time .
