From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My guess is some firmware or modules that just makes it that big and if you want room for snapshots you need to resize (or uninstall some variant if not needed). OS installer might have too small default size for a setup like this.

300MBish for a kernel is totally normal and you have 3 variants installed.
