New Linux users coming from Windows still feel the need to "clean' their system after using it for a while.
Their brain is still wired that over time an OS will be polluted with all kinds of things over time.
A GNU/Linux system cleans itself much better as we know. Even when there is a need for cleaning up a bit the terminal does a good job at that.
However.....the tool Bleachbit (a Linux equivalent of Ccleaner) is seemingly heavily frowned upon from using. It could damage your system by removing "too much" for instance.
Personally I use it from time to time (couple of time per year on my daily driver only) and to be honest I have never once broken my OS by using it even back in the early Linux days. Not ever.
So for more experienced users who sort of know what they're doing there shouldn't be any problems, right?
I'm curious about the opinions and experiences of the fine people on the forums.
Do you use it? Are you one of those explicit nay sayeres? What are your experiences?
