Working on downloading all the packages to update to Fedora 31 and noticed that I have 4877 packages (and 6GB) to update (excluding a handful of new weak dependencies).
Anyone have a good workflow they use to remove unneeded packages?
When running dnf upgrade I make sure to check the list of packages being
updated, and remove anything I spot that i don't need. Eventually it starts carving it down. You could also list the installed packages, and start removing things you don't need.
It's all manual hacky work afaik. :)
