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.

Do an aggresive pruning of objects in git (MIGHT BE VERY SLOW)
Remove old journal logs, keeping last seven days
Remove pip cache
Remove unused conda packages and caches:
If you are a Python developer, this can easily be several or tens of GB.
I can see you're not using Flatpak, the destroyer of disk space. Nice list though!
