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?

    my flatpaks and appimages consume a hell of a lot more space than silverblue itself (which is essentially just a ‘browser launcher’ with an appstore ‘out-of-the-box’).

    (and then there’s the data, which uses even more)

      You’re not wrong, and perhaps a flatpak dependent distro isn’t the right choice for a disk constrained system if you need a lot of apps. My personal approach is whack a 1Tb+ SSD into root, but that’s me, not OP for whatever reason. I just did some scanning of my system for funsies and learned a bit, then shared.
