Which folders and files do I need to exclude from TimeShift?

Also is there a way to also exclude programs installed as .deb ?

I doing this to reduce Backup size as I have limited storage.

100GB - Windows 11
400GB - Storage
400GB - Mint
100GB - TimeShift

    Tools like df and other file system monitors

    What’s df though?😅 Is it like cli file manager.

    The problems you mentioned regarding the remaining space left on BTRFS, they occur on GUI file managers too?

          I take advantage of the free disk space savings and don’t worry about disk space much. I’ll clear out my download directory and maybe some caches when my disk usage grows beyond 80% (as reported in GUI tools). Running duperemove across my drive every now and then also tends to help a lot without deleting anything.

          If I do run out of space, there are a few interactive terminal tools that’ll point out the biggest files so I can delete them and save some space in a pinch. I practice, I just don’t really think about it much.
