I have Kubuntu 22.04 installed.  It takes 33GB for the OS and the software I installed.  Here's what df -h returns
/dev/sda1                 916G   33G  837G   4% /
/dev/sdb1                 1.9T  1.5T  277G  85% /home/

I've been referring to windows as Bill's bugware.  I guess I should start calling it Bill's bloatware.

    hmm.  I thought he was asking about WINDOWs fitting. But while
    we're on the topic of Linux fitting, here's my Linux DF for / and
    /home:

    /dev/sda2        37G   26G  9.6G  73% /
    /dev/sdb2       1.8T  1.7T   18G  99% /home

    So, ignoring home, my laptop Linux Mint fits fine in 30G.  And
    I've got LOTS of 'junk' loaded.  At my last job, I allocated
    around 30G for the Linux partition, if I remember right, which was
    pretty much a default install of Linux Mint.

    That being said, here are some sizes for the virtual PCs I've
    created for the class I teach:

    Ubuntu2.2: 28.92 GB
    Ubuntu2.2: 25.85 GB.
    MicroOS: 34.46GB
    EdUbuntu: 24.0GB
    CentOS: 30.15GB

    Note that these were 'mostly' 'standard' installs, but obviously
    YMMV! (especially since MY mileage varied!)

    Now, I also did a Windows install, W11 or W10 I think, and I don't
    think I added much to it, and it took 50.0GB

    So, for Windows I agree that you're probably out of luck getting
    it in to 30GB! ;-)
