 Every other week I nuked windows XP because I messed around with it too much trying to speed it up.. 
 This install had been running since 2020, so it had 10+ distro upgrades. Bit annoying to redo everything, but it was getting unstable anyways. And it's also nice to have a clean slate, with a bigger SSD. 
 Nothing beats that fresh system feeling. You get to implement all the things you need right from the beginning, filesystem, swap partition,... No more lingering leftovers frok apps you have uninstalled long ago...
