I remember using this a lot in my first year of migrating from Windows to Linux. It was engrained into me that my system will degrade if I don't "clean" it regularly, like on Windows.
Yea indeed no need under Linux
Unless you desperately need to free up room in your tiny SSD to make room for Baldur's Gate 3. I recently used a tool like this to get rid of a bunch of old logs and things and managed to free up tens of gigabytes of precious space.
