On systems I have with limited space I modify /etc/systemd/journald.conf to reduce disk usage, I set the SystemMaxUse and MaxRetentionSec parameters." -------------------- I have a 10Gb /var partition 46.9% full (was over 57% full before doing sudo apt-get clean). What would reasonable values be for the SystemMaxUse and MaxRetentionSec parameters? Also, a big chunk of /var is taken up by /var/lib/flatpak/repo/objects, which takes up 2.5Gb of the 10 Gb /var. Note: I only use very few flatpaks, just Flatseal, LibreWolf, and DB Browser for SQLite, and some system stuff not user added. So I don't know why /var/lib/flatpak/repo/objects takes up so much space. Can /var/lib/flatpak/repo/objects safely be trimmed in order to save space?
