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! ;-)

I got a 30 GB drive. Will windows fit on such a drive?

likely no

It won't fit *my* Void Linux setup either. Here's the result of df -h on my Void Linux computer: /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.4T 62G 1.2T 5% / I'm pretty sure if I just installed a CLI Linux with no applications it would fit in 32GB, but with modern browsers and X and the like, no.
