How well does macOS run with <100GB of storage space?

I shrunk my macOS partition down all the way to 64GB, the gave the rest to Asahi Linux. macOS runs fine for me with ~52GB of 64 used, though I noticed that Disk Utility didn't load for a whole minute, but maybe that's a coincidence?

Tell me how well it runs for you if you use it with <100GB of space.

it is more a function of the available free space than the partition size assigned to it. With whatever additional software installed on your macOS partition, how much free space do you have? What software are you using on macOS, what Mac model?

Not so good.
As you have found out.

Particularly with m-series Macs and the latest versions of the OS, you need nearly 50gb of "free space" just to do a major software update.

I suggest you do your experimentations with Linux somewhere else...

@Fishrrman Yeah I thought that would be the case, and it is. I reinstalled Asahi Linux and now leave 128GB for macOS.
