cachy OS cleaning and maintain.
What are the best “ways” to keep cachyos clean and fast ?
So delete unnecessary files and so on ?

Open CachyOS Hello → Apps/Tweaks → Remove orphans

You can also clean the package cache from the same place.

ok, thanks. Is there a setting for bleachbit that can or should be executed once a month, for example?

Don’t use Bleachbit use Stacer if you are going to use a third party app. My routine is do my updates, reboot, use the cleaner in Stacer.

5

Ist stacer not to old ?

6

I’ve never had any issues with it.

There is no need to use some app for that.
You can run CachyOS alias in your terminal to remove orphans

orphans

and for cache cleaning just

paru -Scc

You are right.
I have created an alias orphans that is the same as cleanup.
My fault.

Well, it looks like both lupdate and lrelease are not symlinked to /usr/bin. You could add /usr/lib/qt6/bin to your PATH but that may not be the best solution. Alternatively, what I think may be better is to do the following:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/qt6/bin/lupdate /usr/bin/lupdate6
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/qt6/bin/lrelease /usr/bin/lrelease6

and modify the PKGBUILD lines which invokes lupdate and lrelease to match the symlink you just created.
