20Gb is not enough if you want to have a decent experience
No, this is lightweight. It might be you installed some flatpak apps too, I guess. I will move this to discussions panel where this topic is suited. |

@mahaveergurjar what you did was to resize the home partition and reduce root (this is possible) |

you can see in image one that I reduced the partition from starting in the home and picture two you see the unallocated partition between root and home that I reduced from starting so I and this unallocated space merge at the end of the root partition so the starting sector is also not affected in the root partition |

Description
I know this is not an arch-focused github, but the community here is very active. I am quite new to arch and I followed tutorials for its installation and in "Disk configuration" select "Use a best-effort default partition layout". But by selecting that option only assigned 20 GB to root (/). Normally when I used Ubuntu I assigned 100 GB to the root and the rest to /home, how can I add space from /home to the root?
