From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If it is an Arch-based distro (sorry, I don't recognize the package manager), then this might just be the recent Wine update that made it 700 MB smaller (which would mean the rest of your system grew 300 MB)
I made a post here about it: this one
Btw, is there a way to link to a post in a way that resolves on everyone's separate instance instead of hard coding it to my instance?
Theres no way to do that for posts apparently https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1048
I don't use arch BTW but it's probably the wine update cause i'm on opensuse tw

I'm not sure if it works on Lemmy UI, but on Voyager app, it opens on the same instance I'm in.
make sure you have a backup
Looks like opensuse which means it makes a snapshot before every upgrade automatically so if anything breaks you just roll back and everything's back to how it was
It is definitely Zypper and there really is only one distro that uses it and mentioned above
that's very convenient and likely enough (but not 100% like a backup on something you can disconnect from the computer)
