    I remember using this a lot in my first year of migrating from Windows to Linux. It was engrained into me that my system will degrade if I don’t “clean” it regularly, like on Windows.

          Old registry entries definitely slowed Windows down all the way up to Windows 7. I’m not sure if they fixed it with 8 or 10, but I don’t think so since 10 slows considerably after just a few months.
