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.

I didn't phrase that right. It filled to over 90% of the 180 GB SSD. Had move distos right away
If 90% of the 180 gig drive was filled up, that's even more lol, definitely should be a way to clean that up but i've never used silverblue.
Edit: just realized you said that happened within a week. That's really weird and i don't think that's supposed to happen. Over an extended amount of time without cleanup, sure, but not a week.
