    Go through all installed packages and remove “bloat”.
    Add third party repositories.

      Removing bloat doesn’t necessarily make things unstable. I remove all the games from my KDE Plasma installs. The primary mistake that can occur in removing non-essential programs is ignoring the list of programs that this is a dependency of or also removes.

      Ahaha. That hurts.

      Pro-Tip: Even if you don’t program in Python, it might be necessary for several of your applications.
