    70GiB is lots of free space? 🤨

    I think if that was all I had left I’d already have a new disk in the post

      This is the OS partition. I have an external 2TB drive, but admittedly I’m not knowledgeable/careful enough to install things other than games from Steam there. All other programs are on the root partition, which is causing this problem and that makes me want to scream. One day my swap is going to choke.

        Oh I was more saying that’s quite a low amount of free space for an application to be putting a message like that up!

        I think my desktop has something like 20TiB free out of around 60TiB currently and I’d just call that a comfortable place to be.

        … But I’d understand if a disk tool gave me some grief over it

    It’s also wrong in its trolling, because having used up to 75% you obviously didn’t overbuy.
    You would never want to go completely full, so you always need to buy a bit bigger than you actually plan to use.

      I do have a 2TB external drive, but installing things there would be a detriment to loading times of programs there. And, I don’t want some kind of system weirdness from installing there. I’m also a relative newb, and that’s a factor.
