Sounds like a good use of time and effort /s

It actually is because I can utilize my machine better by having less processes running and lighter ones at that. I can run ZFS easily. I can have a minimal kernel, reducing my attack surface.
I can customize installed packages, such as what I did above.
Also, it taught me system administration.
Totally worth the effort.
As for getting rid of Go, I'm surprised that I had so few Go programs, and like I said, I was already planning on replacing two with my own stuff.
My machine is locked down hard.
Oh, and I checked what depends on Go on my machine. The one kicker was libcap, which won't depend on Go if I tell it not to build captree. So I did that.
I uninstalled Docker.
That leaves:
* `arduino-builder` (for my custom keyboard).
* Hugo (for my websites).
* An unnamed program.
* Gitea.
Besides `arduino-builder`, I have a plan to get rid of all three of those. For two, Hugo and Gitea, I had already planned to. The unnamed program is harder, but someone has already done one. Unfortunately, it's in Go, so I'm going to have to do something else myself.
`arduino-builder`, though, that's tough.
