At what point is your system bloated? (lemmy.world)

I feel my system is perpetually bloated, and try to maintain what applications I have installed but always seem to veer off into new applications or python modules and what ever else.

Just wondering how does one keep a lean daily use system?

Bloated us a relative term. If it feels bloated then it is, if it doesn't then it isn't. The second you start noticing it is when you know you've gone too far for your own comfort and should start cleaning more aggressively. Compared to old computers even the cleanest modern linux setup is bloated by comparison in most cases.
