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.
Go through all installed packages and remove “bloat”.

Ahaha. That hurts.
Pro-Tip: Even if you don’t program in Python, it might be necessary for several of your applications.
New linux user goes online to find out how to list installed packages in the terminal. Starts removing the ones they don’t recognise.
Ah yes, I’ve made that mistake, too.
Also, going through Synaptic and deleting everything you don’t know.
Synaptic is a new Linux user’s worst enemy. Makes it too easy to just break stuff.
