Two years or so tried fedora Silverblue and one the main issue i run into was storage. I had 180 GB SSD at the time and it filled to 90-something in a week. Now i have a 240 GB SSD and thing of try an immutable distro but worried about the storage space.

Anyone got insight into how big an SSD do i need?

    It depends on where that storage was used. Some details would be useful.

    Linux mint 240 SSD is free 152 GB. The SSD includes home directory(28 GB) and Swap file(17 GB)

    I have an 500 GB HDD that has 20 GB important files. I plan on keeping a copy on the 240 SSD and want the immutable allow twice that sizes(40 GB).

    I don’t plan on playing any games but i do plan on trying out some video and photo editing, nothing too big.

        I keep getting “No such file or directory” and " Permission denied" on directories “/pro” and “/run”. I am assuming those are the partitions of the HDD, either way, i got 193 GB but its not down broken down into sections. i am also wondering if it counted the HDD storage space in the total storage used.

        Linux mint does have Disk Usage Analyzer where i got the storage spaced breakdown from. the size of / directory is 117 GB, 48 of which is Timeshift snapshots, so 67 GB of used space out of 240 GB SSD.
