penquin ( @penquin@lemmy.kde.social ) 14•8 months agoMan, I remember using this app and checking too many boxes and then it borked my system so bad that I had to reinstall.
memphis ( @memphis@sopuli.xyz ) 10•8 months agoI remember using this a lot in my first year of migrating from Windows to Linux. It was engrained into me that my system will degrade if I don’t “clean” it regularly, like on Windows.

comicallycluttered ( @comicallycluttered@beehaw.org ) 2•8 months agoI do still like to clean out ~/.cache from time to time, often because of the thumbnail cache (which more or less rebuilds itself to the same size within a few days, so kind of pointless sometimes).
No need for an application, though. Just an alias (well, abbreviation in fish) when I feel it’s getting too much.
It’s completely pointless for anything else. This does remind me to check for empty or left over ~/.config and ~/.local/share folders, though. Haven’t cleared those out in a while.

OsrsNeedsF2P ( @OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml ) 9•8 months agoAnyone else remember how this program got famous?
comicallycluttered ( @comicallycluttered@beehaw.org ) 8•8 months agoI had encountered it a lot before the whole “what, with like a cloth or something?” thing (it was basically everyone’s FOSS answer to CCleaner), but I did find it funny when they used that whole situation as a “selling point” on their site.
melroy ( @melroy@kbin.melroy.org ) 2•8 months agoWas it because of a rm -rf /?
comicallycluttered ( @comicallycluttered@beehaw.org ) 5•8 months agoClose.
2016 US presidential election race.
