How to extend my root (/) partition?
2 answers
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. Trysudo apt-get cleanandsudo apt-get autoremoveand removing old unused kernels.

@ravery: Not really if you installed many packages or have a bunch of stuff in/var, e. g. web pages or data bases.

@DavidFoerster -- if that is the case, it would be mounting a partition to /var would be an easier fix.
