last year when I went back to Arch from Manjaro, I made a critical error. I’m not sure if I was just tired when partitioning things off or what. but I made my root only 20GB instead of the 50 that I had intended. I know in a lot use cases that’ll be fine, but in mine, not so much. with steam compat taking up 1-2gb and keeping one version of pacman cache, I’m constantly getting the redline warning.

Tonight I plan on booting to live and resize my luks drive and hopefully not fuck it. and if I do? oh well…Timeshift will hopefully save me.

    resize2fs and lvreduce? I mean if you have used LVM… It’s not easy, but doable without a reinstall. Yeah. the guides also tell people to make a backup first.

      yeah, that’s been my conclusion as well. ripping off a bandaid that may break bad.
