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?

    i have a similar method of manual review

    installed() {
        pacman -Qs "$1" | awk -F/ '/^local/ {print $2}' | cut -d' ' -f 1
    }`
    
    basically gets all installed packages and displays only package name, i can then manually look through and remove stuff
