Why is my Nobara installation using 150GB of SSD space?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I've been experimenting with different Linux distributions and finally settled on Nobara. However, I'm a bit concerned because my fresh installation took up 150GB of space on my SSD. Is this normal because of the pre-installed apps or did I mess something up during the installation? If it's not supposed to be this big, what steps can I take to resolve this issue?

That definitely seems excessive for a basic OS installation. I would recommend running a memory analysis tool like Filelight to dig into where the space is being used. It's possible there are logs or other files taking up space. Let me know how it goes!

You should look into this further. There's likely no way Nobara alone is consuming 150GB. Double-check your installation; maybe some leftover files are still on the SSD. Using tools like `du` or `ncdu` can definitely help track down the culprits.

It sounds like something isn't right, because a fresh installation shouldn't take up that much space. To get a better idea of what's happening, you might want to use tools like Filelight or `ncdu` to visualize your disk usage. They can help you identify large files or directories that are taking up space. Can you share a screenshot of your disk usage?

I use Mint MATE and my installation is only using about 20GB, even with extra applications. It might be worth checking if any additional packages or games have been installed that could be bloating your system. You could try running a command like `sudo du -hxd 1 /` in the terminal to see where the large usage is coming from.
