Translations:Limit the size of .log files & the journal/74/en
From Manjaro
As of this writing I'm running my system with syslog-ng (& its dependency) deleted. I deleted all of the log files from the /var/log directory (leaving any that are in their own sub-directories), except for Xorg.0.log , Xorg.0.old , lastlog , btmp & wtmp, (pacman.log turned up when pacman was used, depending on what you have installed on your system, you may have applications that create their own logs - which can be turned off - too). (Note: These days I'm systemd free as I've been very happily using the OpenRC init system instead.)
