Even my supposedly "big" Ubuntu install is just 40GB. It has Wayland AND Xorg X11, multiple JDKs, Netbeans, Blender, some Games, even some snaps. My Music folder is almost as big. Together they use only 9% of my 1TB SSD. I back them up onto a 1TB USB stick.

You have a shit ton of bloat. You should get rid of it and just run what matters - neofetch.

What's the size of your actual root though?
My root is only ~8.9GB and I have basically all the same stuff you do. Well except for snaps, those are yucky.

You shouldn't use USB sticks as backup storage. They often have the worst flash quality.
