Totally agree, I'll add that I run jellyfin, the *arrs, an admittedly low throughout ripping/encoding setup, and a few other containers on a single optiplex micro 7060 and there's a lot of room leftover. I very much appreciate the laptop processor in it because it usually sits idle for 16 hours a day.

Where do they claim they don't collect this information?

Is this what you're referring to?

I've got you beat. 32gb emmc laptop.

I need every last mb on this thing. It's kind of nice because I literally cannot have bloat, so I clear out folders before I forget where things went. I only really use it for the internets and to ssh into my servers, but it's also where I usually make my bootable USB drives, so I'll need 2-5 gb free for whichever ISO I want to try out. I really detest the idea of downloading to one USB, then dd-ing that to another. I should probably start using ventoy or something, but I guess I'm old school stubborn.

I tried using flatpak and docker, but it's just not gonna happen.
