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.

You can use Clonezilla to resize filesystems, so you ought to be able to clone that filesystem onto a smaller drive. It's been a couple decades since I used the tool, but I believe the guided steps should be enough to help you accomplish what you want - just be sure to thoroughly read the instructions!
I simply don't find myself needing to clone drives like I did before. My professional work moved back down into the embedded space, and I tend to do fresh installs for new systems for personal use. I might pull out my old Clonezilla boot drive if I pick up a bigger NVME drive for my gaming rig this coming Cyber Monday, though.
