Windows can have the same problem when you run out of space, but it will at least give you a helpful UI to clean everything up.

Its not clear to me either why it appeared as if there was free space, but it might be the btrfs/df incompatibility the other poster raised.

Good luck, and reach out if there are further issues :)

The dnf clean deleted old downloaded packages. You will probably hit disk space issues again soon, so I suggest you resize your root partition at some stage if possible. Use a gparted livecd.

sudo dnf clean?

Otherwise you’ll need to start cleaning out software your not using and/or resizing your disk partitions.

Also, check the size of the files in the /var/log directory, you may be able to shrink or delete them.

Woah woah woah, slow down. I just want cd, I dont think I need to bash any fishes.

I’m looking for a distro with good cd support, what should I use?

Perhaps the OP means that when they open nautilus in the host it crashes virtualbox? It could be ram usage climbing up and the OOM killer taking out virtualbox?

Write an alias/function to do it and add to your bashrc.

function nanox() {
    nano "$1"
    chmod +x "$1"
}

Probably backwards compatibility with existing scripts.

I think you are missing the most critical features, stability and support. You need whatever distro you pick to be solid. No one cares about the file system or whether it is immutable or not, your users need the computer to work when they use it, and nothing else matters.

You also need to be confident you can update and upgrade safely and easily, any risk of a broken update will make your life a misery when that happens.

Kickstart support, or some form of automated deployment will also be extremely valuable so that you can easily redeploy broken boxes with minimal effort. And some form of remote config/admin will also be extremely valuable. You dont want to have to do updates manually one at a time.

I would pick a general purpose commercially backed OS, so that if you need it later, you can pay for support if there is a problem. And you need to write some basic usage guides, because no matter which distro you pick, if its not Windows, your users will complain when they cant do X the same way it works on Windows.

I use Arch, but it probably is a completely wrong distro for a school computer lab. One botched update/upgrade and the entire lab is broken. There is also no kickstart support, so deploying lab full of machines will be a very manual process.

Hopefully with no exclusivity nonsense like the Microsoft+Qualcomm deal from the ARM surface era.

The fact is that we can’t rely on any single website to hold the whole world’s knowledge, because it can be corrupted sooner or later. The only solution is a distributed architecture, with many smaller websites connecting with each other and sharing information. This is where ActivityPub comes in, the protocol used by Mastodon, Lemmy, Peertube and many other federated social media projects.

Thank god Lemmy has no malicious users/bad actors/spam issues…

Interesting idea anyway. I would be a bit more worried that when important information is siloed onto instances, each instance becomes a point of failure, and thus can be corrupted or lost.

Good luck :)

Bad statistics? When the percentages are that low, the polling rates are probably trash, and the error bars are probably huge.
