I've had an Ubuntu 22.04 setup going for around a year, and over that year I've had to increase the size of the partition holding my /var folder multiple times. I'm now up to 20GB and again running into problems, mainly installing new apps, because that partition is again nearly full. I've used commands sudo apt clean and sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=500 to temporarily clear up some space, but it doesn't take long to fill back up, and gets less effective with time, til I have no choice but to expand the partition again.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it normal to need 20GB+ for var? Is there a way to safely reclaim space I don't know about?

I've never used Tutanota but been a Proton Unlimited user for a few years now. I definitely like the mail service, and Drive and VPN are nice but can be slow, especially Drive. Everything else I don't have much use for, and honestly I cringe when I see the new stuff they're working on. Not that any of it's bad, but it feels like they're in the "can't just make a good product" camp, constantly trying to add on new stuff instead of focusing on quality. Could have it all wrong, though, I'm just a person, not an analyst.
