Essentially the command, in pseudo code, says:
Display "Storage: (total used storage in GB) (Total used percentage) used, (total free space in GB) free".
The output being
Storage: 10586G (59%) used, 7447G free.
Feel free to toy with this freely. Use "man df" too to learn the values you can get.

--total adds a final line listing the total used space across all the drives in the PC.
The next part, "tail -n 1" essentially cuts all the lines from the output but the last one, meaning it will only show the total and nothing else.
The rest repeats the df command, but showing different values.

#!/bin/bash: Normal script start
The "echo" command displays something in the terminal.
df -t ext4 -l --total --output=used -BG: It runs df, showing only the content of ext4 drives. Output=used shows only the used space. -BG shows it in GB or MB instead of just bytes. --total is the core of this.

Screenshot of Mousepad showing the next script:
#!/bin/bash
echo Storage: $(df -t ext4 -l --total --output=used -BG | tail -n 1)"("$(df -t ext4 -l --total --output=pcent | tail -n 1)")" used, $(df -t ext4 -l --total --output=avail -BG | tail -n 1) free.
Teehee
Have a script (You can copy it from the alt text).
You can use this with any applet that displays output, to show your total used/free storage space across all your drives. I'll explain what it does in the reply.

Screenshot of a XFCE desktop running Audacious with a Pizza Hut themed skin. The desktop has a top and a bottom bar, the bottom bar has the usual "show desktop", icons for the active apps, the notification applet, clipboard manager and the Trash applet. The top bar shows the processor speed (and temperature), the video card temp, the used and free storage, the current network usage, date, uptime and local temperature.
Doing what I've always done with the screens with lower resolution:
Put there the windows I don't need to pay attention to all the time. Also putting sensors and information in it. Years ago I would use Rainmeter for this; today I just use the xfce panel and some commands.

I was going to pick devuan but one thing that made me unsure was that it uses its own repositories. Given how much Debian and Ubuntu (and Mint) hammer the idea that making a frankendebian is a horrible idea, that turned me off a bit.
In any case, I'm good with what I got. And genuinely surprised.

3/3 I have now a system running well, exceedingly fast and very minimalistic. When I renew my laptop, or if I reformat my current one, I'm going to do the same. The speed is appreciated. I dunno if I'll have any issues in a future, but right now everything looks good. /end

2/3 I installed the nvidia driver, but not the version shipped with Debian. I installed the latest version supported for my video card and kernel directly from the nvidia website. It worked right away without fuzz.
- The system became a lot faster. I still cant believe how much overhead systemd has.

1/3 Okay, so here's the thing.
- I switched from systemd to System-V. All my weird kernel issues fixed. Even virtualbox stopped crashing randomly.
- The nouveau driver was unfathomably slow even to open video files. This isnt a dig toward its maintainers tho- Just stating whats up. (cont)

I will give it a peek the next time, I already installed the system with SystemV and am happy with it so far.

However, replacing systemD is not for the faint of heart nor it should be done in a system already well set up. I did it while reformatting/reinstalling my desktop experience, something I wanted to do before my trip but postponed til now.

Systemd makes managing the boot supposedly a lot easier, putting everything on a single place unlike how Linux used to be. However, I was having a very niche specific bug. Switched to the boot system used by Linux before systemD and problem solved, and in addition, the OS is going very fast.

I had no idea how resource consuming systemd is. I switched for the good ol' system v and holy shit, the system does everything faster. Like, a *lot* faster. I mean it, even in my Ryzen 3700X with 32 GB RAM I can notice the performance difference.
Holy cow. #Linux

I wonder if some of the bugs I'm having on my desktop PC would get solved by reinstalling without systemd.
Also the sound bugs started with the nvidia driver. At this point I'm considering to stick to nouveau as well, as terrible as its performance can be (I dont play many modern games anyways).
