Sayori meme representing Linux users. Sayori is disgusted by text reading “receiving pre-installed bloatware” and instead approves “accumulating bloatware over time”. Bloatware refers to unused packages.

    Isn’t that how it is, hence the meme that people accumulate bloteware* over time because they keep installing and not using but not going back and uninstalling,

    At least for me I’d open up the package manager and see all these new and recommended software and think oh cool I’ll get into ASCII art if I install this, and of course never actually run it, last time I had like three metronomes

      For me it got particularly bad back when I was running Manjaro and the GUI package manager showed you multiple package types for the same software all the time. Three metronomes is bad, but three differently packaged versions of Steam is worse and potentially unrecoverable.
