Apparently, Prism Launcher chose to adhere to the idiotic principle of the hidden “trashbin”, .Trash-$(uid), invented by Ubuntu. Even though it’s based on QT. This can’t be disabled. It accumulated 139 GB of literal Trash, fully replaceable, over time. Just … why? There’s even an open issue about this, for over a year, referenced multiple times. I guess I have another point on my agenda.

    You can easily set it up to do this automatically with something like timeshift…

    I recently switched to an Atomic distro (Bazzite), and they have made it so easy to rollback to previous commits without any additional software.
