Could be, seems to me that BTRFS didn't match the subvolid between @home and what it expected @home to be in the fstab, but I won't claim to be an expert lol

Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it's on the "immutable" thing that's popular right now. I've tried a few immutable distros, and they're not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

Idk about all that, it's been fine for me, just a little misconfiguration here. The compression just saved me a bunch of storage space, so I'm kinda in btrfs' corner right now lol

LMAO I was unaware of this! That's hilarious!

I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.

Just an update: following the very helpful suggestions in this thread has gotten my drive usage down to 16%! Super happy about that, y'all rock!

You joke, but I actually did remove locales with BleachBit, and then changed pacman.conf to skip the unnecessary ones. Saved me about 400MB!

Yeah, that's pretty much how I solve all my problems lol

That's the second recommendation for qdirstat, so it's definitely on the tomorrow list!

I will check that out! Mostly I've been looking for something to determine what files are no longer in use, like old configs for programs I don't even have anymore, etc.

Great suggestions, that will absolutely be my tomorrow project!
