A meme styled like the “I receive / you receive” Meme format. At the top, it says “Starting full system upgrade…”. On the left, under “I receive,” it says “Total Download Size: 5982.67 MiB” and “Total Installed Size: 22816.87 MiB.” On the right, under “You receive,” it says “Net Upgrade Size: –699.29 MiB,” making fun of the fact that Arch updates often reduce used space even though multiple gigabytes may be downloaded

I also use KDE, and it is far from minimal, but as I recall my system is only half that with a full system upgrade!
Some say creativity stuff takes much room, but for instance Blender is only ½ a gig.

But maybe my system is bigger than I remember, because even at 40 gig it's near irrelevant compared to the size of an SSD today, and with 1 gigabit internet the upgrades are fast anyway.

IDK if there's a way to see the size of my actual Linux install not counting 3rd party media or games?
