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.

If you have enough room to install the
ncducommand, it's super helpful!Actually running
sudo ncduallowed me to find a 72gb [long string of characterless]-json.log file in /var/lib/docker/containers and many 1gb+ files in /var/lib/docker/overlay2. I'm not sure what to do with this information (or what's safe to delete) but I'm getting somewhere.Isn't that tool freaking nifty? I love ncdu. BTW the
-xflag is useful to make sure you stay on the same file system (useful if you have network shares, extra disks, and to avoid digging stuff like /proc and /sys)~~This is a cool tool thanks, unfortunately it is reporting the same (far, far below 99%) number.~~
