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.

Going back in time is cheating a bit, but around 2013 my computer was an 8gb netbook. I carefully segregated my files into a couple of GB that I'd keep available, and the rest on an external HDD. To this day I keep that large/small scheme, though both parts have grown since then.
