The article explains that BleachBit is a useful tool for reclaiming disk space after updates and caches pile up on Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04. It offers three ways to install it: from the official repositories, via a PPA that keeps you on the latest release, or with Flatpak so it works on any recent Linux distro, each method described with simple terminal commands. Once installed you launch it through Activities or the command line, and if you need to clean system files you can run it as administrator or use the GUI switch for root access. Troubleshooting tips cover missing packages, permission errors, and Flatpak authentication prompts, encouraging users to seek help if they hit a snag not covered in the guide.

On Linux Mint 20 or 21, the simplest way to get Telegram up and running is by downloading its official Debian package instead of using Snap, which can bloat your system with extra runtimes. You begin by running `sudo apt update` to refresh your sources, installing libqt5webkit5, downloading the .deb with wget, then applying it via dpkg and fixing any missing libraries with `sudo apt -f install`. Once installed you launch Telegram from the terminal or application menu; if it crashes on first start, clearing `~/.cache/TelegramDesktop` usually resolves the issue. If you prefer Snap for sandboxing, a single `sudo snap install telegram-desktop` will work but pulls over 100 MB of runtime files—so weigh that overhead against convenience and keep the TLDR steps handy to avoid future headaches.
