<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Let&#39;s say your daily system is going through some &quot;big changes&quot;, like changing from a X11 DE to a Wayland Compositor, or you stop using an application with a lot of configuration and dependencies. How do you proceed to &quot;clean up&quot; after the change? Or do you simply go for a fresh install?</p> <p>I personally don&#39;t to much outside of uninstalling a package along with dependencies and checking for orphaned packages, so I&#39;m curious to know if there are some more elaborate and efficient cleaning routines out there.</p> <p>I&#39;ve also read someone claim that some software like DEs install some hacks directly to the kernel so cleaning up after an uninstall would be rather hard. I don&#39;t really get what that&#39;s about, can anyone also comment on that?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/el_lanor"> /u/el_lanor </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/rcxf0d/how_do_you_guys_clean_up_after_big_changes_to/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/rcxf0d/how_do_you_guys_clean_up_after_big_changes_to/">[comments]</a></span>
