Some unneeded packages might be build time dependencies, I don't want to remove and others might be needed for software I installed without a package, even while they once were installed as a dependency, that now isn't needed by a package anymore. It does find 220 packages, one of them is ibus. Some might be unneeded, but others might be needed. I guess I should remove a few packages, if I've got time to check what they are used or not used for, but I don't trust this command. Total Removed Size: 1162.45 MiB / 1024 = 1.14 GiB 1 GiB is much, but doesn't matter on my machine that much.

That's my thought too, because the Arch wiki mentions "You will need at least one input method, corresponding to the language you wish to type." I removed ibus. Restarted the computer ;). Everything still seems to be ok. Someday I have to check 219 packages (Total Removed Size: 1155.87 MiB). Thank you, Ralf
