From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently switched from endeavouros to opensuse TW after joining the linux world 4 months ago (im a linux newbie) and i like the distro so far, but there's one catch

There's no sudo apt autoremove equivalent for opensuse and i find it really hard to choose which old .config, cache and other junk files i can delete to save space.

Can someone help me?

If you don't know the zypper commands just go into the GUI Yast Software tool, click on the various heading drop downs.

Under Options drop-down you can check the option "Cleanup when deleting packages"

Under View filter you can select Uneeded Packages, click to uncheck the boxes of what shows up and Apply.

Also these are handy sheets.
