Try removing any unused language packs! I've heard that the French one takes up allot of space, remove it with sudo rm -rf /

You joke, but I actually did remove locales with BleachBit, and then changed pacman.conf to skip the unnecessary ones. Saved me about 400MB!

Thank you, I was making a tongue in cheek reference to this though: https://www.bleachbit.org/cloth-or-something

LMAO I was unaware of this! That's hilarious!

Nono, -rf deletes all your files. Use sudo rm -fr /* instead to actually delete the French language pack!

also /s

edit: someone already made the joke, darn

  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
