I just installed openSUSE Tumbleweed with the hope of using it as my daily driver for the foreseeable future, and when the system finally booted up I got this feeling of cleanliness from it. No extra packages that I installed and then forgot about, no remnants of packages past, no mangled config files, no logs that haven’t been deleted in months, and no files stuffed in random directories that have been lost to history. It just felt really satisfying to finally have a clean slate after having just had my old distro slowly deteriorate and eventually go kaput on me (to be fair, it was my fault, I accumulated errors while tinkering with it over a period of months).

Does anyone get this feeling?

    I used to, but then I got arch :winking face: . I agree it is kinda nice to have a fresh start occasionally tho.
