I’ve installed debian on an old laptop and am wondering if the 10 gig base system size can be slimmed down by deleting unneeded files.
I ran the commands to look for any runaway logs or other obviously large files and nothing popped out.
Is there a group of folders full of stuff I don’t need or is this just the size of modern distros?
i’m also using a chromebook with 16 gb emmc storage. my installs keep being about 10 gigs with xfce. i was thinking i would end up with just about your numbers but there is almost 5 gigs of other stuff i ended up with from the live disk installer.
