I have been thinking that my system is slow recently, and especially with some programs such as the Arduino IDE which takes well over a minute to load. I wondered if I had two many old versions of the kernel or something so I ran
sudo dpkg --list | egrep 'linux-image|linux-headers' Which did show me many old ones. According to one reference sudo apt autoremove --purge should have cleaned up the system, but it didn't seem to do anything, so I have been working through each one seperately sudo apt purge linux-image-5.4.0-99-generic .... even so they leave a lot of files around so I have been going into root/usr/lib/modules/5.4.0-99-generic and all the others trying to remove them. Is there an easy way to do this? I have looked at bleachbit but it doesn't seem to help. thee is probably a fairly simple script to do it, but I am not a script programmer. Thanks for any help.
