I did go through the forums earlier discussions and ran the following -

# btrfs scrub start /
scrub started on /, fsid ec56f045-0b46-48cb-ad41-c68705366f20 (pid=29644)

and also

# btrfs balance /
Done, had to relocate 15 out of 15 chunks

and yet when I run

$ vivaldi-stable
[0926/130222.524285:ERROR:file_writer.cc(98)] writev: No space left on device (28)
[0926/130222.524311:ERROR:crash_report_exception_handler.cc(226)] WriteEverything failed
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Am I running the btrfs balance wrong?

I think the problem comes from here:

You could give a look also at this thread:

In my opinion you could try disabling psd with systemctl --user disable --now psd to see if that helps.
If so, you could try extending that tmpfs space.

Thank you so much for your expert advice. It really helped a lot - so what I did was basically increased the size of the tmpfs - I ran the following command -

mount -o remount,size=3G,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime /run/user/1000

I need some inputs here please -

$ swapon
NAME       TYPE       SIZE USED PRIO
/dev/zram0 partition  7.7G 1.1G  100
/dev/sda5  partition 14.9G   0B   -2

As you can see I have a dedicated 7.7 G zram and a 15 G Swap partition - I was told in another post in Garuda Forum that Garuda first will use zram and when there is no space in zram will use swap partition - then what is happening with tmpfs ? are they all not related. apologies in adavnce if this sounds like a Noob question.

As far as I can say (I'm not a developer), they are not related.
Did the tmpfs extension work (you see the change in df -h) and was effective for running Vivaldi?
If not "working", you could also try with this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Profile-sync-daemon#Allocate_more_memory_to_accommodate_profiles_in_/run/user/xxxx
Probably RuntimeDirectorySize parameter.
If working but not effective, did you try disabling psd?

This is a somewhat common issue with Snaps. They use a lot more space than regular packages, and apparently they leave up to three old versions of a package lying around on your system after an app has been updated.

This person put together a simple script for cleaning up the old Snaps. It looks like they ran it once and reduced the size of /var/lib/snapd/snaps/ by 50%! :exploding_head:
