I forget the commands but there is something like btrfs scrub or something that will prune or purge unnecessary data. But also is your /home on the same snapshot fs. Like when you do a df -h do you see same root fullness as home fullness? A full home also fills root, if they are same btrfs volume.

I know you are drive mounting into home, I assume after the fact and not part of initial lvm setup. You could try unmounting and sew homes true size compared to root

The system will always boot to a writable snapshot, unless you chose an old one (which becomes read only) If you have the 835 as a single snapshot that is probably something you made a single snapshot of maybe? as they are usually in pairs.

Unless something went really odd.

Lookup tools to purge old btrfs data, but first try manually making a new snapshot. And see if it will boot to the new one on its own. If it can you can probably delete the old snapshot pairs. The singles are often a large install like original install that served as the basis for subsequent incremental changes. There could be a lot of old data it is hanging onto.

Also look at the btrfs scripts to see when they’d run, you can run the commands manually to try to cleanup and purge data

If your home partition part of the same filesystem then filling your home with games and media also shows as filling root also, because its all one volume.

If you don’t like CLI stuff then: You can review grub menu options in the YAST2 GUI app for boot. Here you will see if there is a delay set to pick an alternate snapshot, or boot direct.

But first use YAST2 GUI to review Filesystem, it will show you how many snap shots you have and whether they are important or not. You can also set how long to keep them by time or by number of entries. You can delete old ones if you don’t need them. You can force a new snapshot. But I would clear disk space first if you are that full.

It is possible the normal btrfs maintenance tools didn’t run for some reason, but usually all the backnd cleanup of that is handled by the system.

How have your " sudo zypper dup" upgrades gone?

Yes, Microsoft is already selling these

Because a CEO hears MS or googles release statements and assumes that good stuff and tells next level down to implement a plan. They are mandated to do something and so start grasping for junk. And force it on lower levels.

The work around it you set your networks to metered, it won’t install updates.

Then in updates menu you hit pause updates then unpause updates, it will check for all app updates and show you a list with “download and install” button next to each. You choose the ones you want.

With non metered networks, it will just force them all on you with no granularity

Yeah,SUSE too. There’s even some that just offer Linux help regardless of distro

Because its a phone number substitution set. You type by the letters on the dial pad but if fills in numbers for the phone number.

Tape Drive?

Most windows users aren’t distro hoppers, they just want an os to get their google search working. I would suspect that many EOL windows users might just stick with it, unless they are a gamer.

My take: I heard about it about 2 years ago, either on here or reddit. A user recommended it, so I tried it out.

It’s good, has a clean aesthetic and a simple switcher to alter how GNOME actually looks. Perfect for a new User to tryout the Windows Menu look, or more of a GNOME dash, or whatever the other two options were.

Seemed solid and user friendly. Everything worked out of the box.

And they figured out funding: present a price, allow downloader to choose the price , or offer more, or type in 0.

Mainly I’m still waiting for their admin Grid product to manage multiple machines from a central location.

They customized Gnome, apparently Gnome is very customizable on the back end that most people don’t get into.

Distro can alter how it behaves on your hardware. I tried every Debian derivative out there on a 2010 laptop. They would fail install or fail boot due to some hardware error, but fedora or opensuse were fine, and weirdly nixos. All those acknowledged the error and worked around it.

Also, not sure if other distros are this easy (because I didn’t experiment) but opensuse let’s you install as many DEs as you like with their pattern selections, and you can flipflop between them at the login screen.

I thought that was a good tool for a beginner just wanting to try out each DE without reinstalling as you change your mind.

This. I like GNOME because of clean uncluttered single app use, but KDE gives you a ton of customization without learning GNOMES backend customization. Why we fight over which is better is a waste of time.

Yes that’s why I said Laid off not fired. Laid off is about the role no longer being needed

Thanks, wireguard was pretty easy to setup, just time consuming mapping the devices and keys between devices. But now that stage is over its all good

Yes, but this is a BBC article and they don’t say laid off they say “made redundant”, its not a sanitizer term in UK, it is just the legal term everyone goes by for when you lose your job.

Well it is a post about online privacy and keeping the prying eyes out.

I don’t think its an Arch issue. But on a system that has snapshots or generations or whatever Silverblue term is then the 30s remedy is reboot to an old snapshot
