From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Flatpaks aren't huge at all. This is a debunked myth. I can't recommend reading this article enough.

May I ask what's filling uo that space since you respond to my comment about having moved all media to a server which I can access instantly from anywhere.

On my phone's internal storage: 50GB of apps, 20GB devoted to the system (Android has gotten so bloated), and a few gigs of videos and photos also on my Micro SD card. I'm not deleting those files until my storage runs low because it serves as a backup.

On my phone's microSD card: 50GB of video, 8GB of pictures, 6GB of music, and 4GB of podcasts.

On my laptop: 500GB of games, 100GB of backups, 50GB of video, 75GB of system stuff, 150GB of various apps.
