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.

Disk image with Clonezilla question (self.linux)

Hi everyone,

I’ve just used Clonezilla for the first time to clone a 500gb ssd with only 83gb being used.

Since only 83gb were used, could I clone that system on a computer with only 128gb? Or does it need to have at least 500gb of space even if most of it wasn’t used on my original system?

Clonezilla seems really practical but isn’t so accessible and I haven’t found an answer to that question online 😇

I’m using Fedora 38 but I don’t think it really matters.
