Do you delete all your files on a reinstall? Documents, photos, videos, games?
Fclones is a great tool, but it’s for finding duplicate files and replacing them with sym-/hard-/reflinks.
I recommend using the --cache option to make subsequent runs extremely quick.
If you need a more interactive method, gdu is awesome. And if you’re using btrfs, btdu gives preliminary results instantly (which get more precise over time).
If your anything like me you’ll forget what PPAs you’ve added in a few months. Or rather, forget that you’ve even added things like PPAs. That’s why I stick to flatpak if its not in my distro’s repos.
