The tool gdu is very nice for finding space culprits.

Never used Bazzite, but isn’t it heavy on packaged apps with snap or flatpak? Inherently space inefficient (and I despise them both passionately).

Don’t update all the time. I update every couple of days like a maniac, but once every few weeks is fine too.

There’s a distro for every level of “I want to do it myself” vs “I want everything to be made ready for me”.
