OK, so in trying out various #Linux'es, one question presents itself: Why are they so different in size? Like, right now I've got a Mint VM using ~23Gb & a Fedora VM that's litteraly 10Gb smaller, even with more apps & stuff installed...
My instinct would be to go for the smaller footprint (assuming I like the performance etc.), but honestly I have no idea what this difference means

@jwcph A VM disc image file is just a container of either a fixed or dynamic size. I noticed you used UTM, so they probably set some default size
To see the actual space usage Linux uses, look in the File Manager or type 'df' or 'df -h' (for human readable sizes in the terminal) - your virtual harddisk is probably called /dev/vda

@simonjust I know that; I gave them all 25Gb to play with - but UTM tells me how much of the virtual disk space the system is taking up
(a disk space analysis in Mint confirms the size)
