What bloat are you talking about here? I've never experienced bloating with Arch.

Generally when over time you start installing more and more stuff and you forget to remove it and it feels clunky and bloated.

pacman -Qs, and look through packages you don't need and delete them. Then you'll hit a dependency, and another one, and another.... and you'll find out one app requires the gtk3 package so like 20-30 packages are just for it and can't get deleted
