does this really mean i have THREE GIGABYTES of fonts installed on my tiny linux partition, and if so is there anything i can do about that?
("linux" here is just Crostini - the limited sandbox debian linux environment you can set up on chromebooks - https://chromeos.dev/en/linux).

so yea 3 gigs feels like a lot to me but maybe those are just all the fonts that your chromeos install already has? it would explain why it's an independent partition.
that's possible. i haven't installed a separate linux file browser, but i can poke around the linux files with the chromeOS one. i set it to show hidden folders, but there wasn't a usr file on the linux side.
the chromeOS install on this thing is ~20 gb, so i guess these could be in there. i'm not really using the chromeOS side for anything, so i'll probably remove it and go full linux eventually.
Try running df -h instead- the human readable flag makes things a little more obvious. But yeah, it does seem like a lot!
quite possible that there's 3 gigabytes of fonts there; the full set of noto fonts is HUGE. most linux distros only install a subset of them as necessary to display western and (sometimes) specifically chinese/japanese/korean text, but i guess chromeos would ship with the full set? that set's about 1.8GB compressed
that said it's very, very likely that they are bind-mounted from the chromeos partition, or some other similar technique that avoids having a second copy of the files. mount output might be more useful than df output
yeah, i think df in the default terminal isn't limited to the portion of the drive you allocate to linux. i gave the linux side 20gb, spent awhile installing and uninstalling various programs, eventually figured out flatpaks were working best, reinstalled flatpak versions of programs i'd installed through other methods, and then uninstalled the non-flatpak versions.
i think i cleaned up all of the leftovers with sudo apt autoremove, sudo apt autoclean and flatpak uninstall --unused, but that still left me with 10 gb used up. that seemed like a lot for what i'd installed (just firefox, discord, and an rss feed), so i thought those 3gb of fonts might have come over with some dependency package. guess not.
