    this is just dumb and you should feel bad for spending so much time writing it

    I have had arch installed on this laptop for 10+ years

    today I look at the state of drive space

    the OS is at a little less then 37GB of which 18.5GB are cached installs from pacman

    cleaning the cache is as simple as paccache

    10 years this install has been on this laptop and I use it daily.

    Where is the bloat?

      I don’t think he did, though he may have touched it up. It’s old. I remember seeing it in the 90s with a number of “if [OS] were an airplane” schticks along the same line. Unix was the one where passengers all brought parts and tools and assembled it on the runway.
