And that's all, I'm happy since I was out of space.
My / is a tmpfs.
There is no state accumulating that I didn't explicitly specify, exactly because I don't want to deal with those kind of chores.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is why I've set up a ramdisk on ~/.cache and ~/Downloads -- "free" automatic cleanup plus a tad more of performance because why not.
I might do that just to force myself to organize and move files out of downloads.
I don't think you'll need to do that, unless you are planning to download files that are over 4Gb long and/or you are using a potato that has less than 1 Gb of ram.
t. I've set my entire ram into a ramdisk, and the performance actually IMPROVED compared to not setting a ramdisk at all.

Does Linux have spacesniffer?
No, and I miss it. Space sniffer was so good.
That's when you know it's time for a fresh install
Nah, in a rolling distro it's normal, they were mostly unused stuff hide in /home, and useless yay pkg.
