At what point is your system bloated?

I feel my system is perpetually bloated, and try to maintain what applications I have installed but always seem to veer off into new applications or python modules and what ever else.

Just wondering how does one keep a lean daily use system?

Being overly concerned with 'bloat' is a waste of time.

For python use venv.

You can always ./configure && make skipping make install and run programs from that directory and just rm -rf the directory when you're done.

Containers also exist.

For advanced users guix makes it very easy to try out new software in an isolated environment.
