I installed CL with Safe installation without partitioning.

This is the the df -h results:

These is the kernels I've installed:

After the nasty issues with xz, we stopped using it to encrypt kernel modules, firmware, and initrds. I'm working on enabling zstd compression of all those things, which will significantly reduce the size, but rolling it out takes a while, and older kernels only support xz.
