Sayori meme representing Linux users. Sayori is disgusted by text reading “receiving pre-installed bloatware” and instead approves “accumulating bloatware over time”. Bloatware refers to unused packages.

Edit: You are so kind to give me advice on how to remove bloatware, but I don’t need it :D

    This doesn’t make sense to me.
    If you install features over time, it’s because you want to use them, if you want to use them, it’s not bloat.
    If it’s to try it, and it’s not for you, why not just remove the package again?

    I can’t say for others, but my system definitely does not get bloated over time.
    On the contrary, I remove preinstalled features I don’t use, when I get tired of seeing them updating.

        I just copy and paste things into the terminal until whatever I wanted is installed and running.
