I know the feeling - I often times will spend more time trying to
automate something than just sitting down with a calculator would do.

20 GB might be OK for a bone standard install without any additional
software, but I learned a long time ago that 30 GB was a more appropriate
size for my installs, so that I don’t run out of space during use.

I use openSUSE on my main desktop and laptop as the primary OS on a daily
basis - and I have plenty of additional software installed.
My desktop (which I’m working on now) has a 20 GB partition, and 4.5 GB
free at the moment.
But if you find 30 GB is what you need, that’s fine - you have the option
of creating as large a root partition as you need.
