We've all heard the "my 100TB NAS is full of Linux ISOs" joke but how many of you actually hoard ISOs? I just noticed I have ~100GB, so not that many though definitely way more than I need (I just like to try new distros on my VMs and I never delete them after).

I just checked. In me archive directory in OperatingSystems I've got a total of 40 files. However, now I remember I should delete so many of them as they are outdated or not needed anymore. Also not all of them are Linux ISOs. ~10 of them are BSDs.

26 after deletion.

6 BSD 1 Android x86 1 visopsys
