  • Post this: `sudo parted -l`. And `lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,LABEL,MOUNTPOINT,SIZE,fsused,MODEL | egrep -v "^loop"` New users do not need to have separate system partitions. May be required for servers or some special cases, sverage desktop user just needs / (root) & ESP if UEFI. The /home as a separate partition is suggested but not required. Often better to have /home as a partition when allocating lots of space to Linux. You can only modify partition from a live installer. You must have good backups as any interruption often corrupts system, then new install & restore from backups is only option. – oldfred Jan 23 '21 at 19:42
  • It is unclear. Is `/var` located on a separate partition? Please add a screenshot of gparted. – Pilot6 Jan 23 '21 at 19:45
  • Why would you have /var on its own partition? Besides that: clear log files in /var/log/ (on a desktop that is the only thing that gets large over time) and move databases and websites if you have those to a different disk. – Rinzwind Jan 23 '21 at 19:49
