I am using Ubuntu 16.04. I have posted a screenshot of my partitions below. My root partition /dev/sda1 is almost full, and my /home partition /dev/sda3 has plenty of unused space. Is there a way that I can use some space from /dev/sda3 to increase the size of my root partition /dev/sda1 ?

    that is a lot of space used for root. perhaps you should look at clean up. Try `sudo apt-get clean` and `sudo apt-get autoremove` and removing old unused kernels. – ravery Feb 16 '18 at 08:22

    @ravery: Not really if you installed many packages or have a bunch of stuff in `/var`, e. g. web pages or data bases. – David Foerster Feb 16 '18 at 18:45
  • @DavidFoerster -- if that is the case, it would be mounting a partition to /var would be an easier fix. – ravery Feb 17 '18 at 00:02

You need to boot using a live CD/USB to make changes on the root partition. Then you can use Gparted ...
