Using OS Ubuntu for 2 days. Everyone says that 8GB is more than enough for root directory but it seems like so soon I will have critical lacks of space in root. I have 256GB hard drive and has distributed space as follow:
- 10GB for /
- 8GB for linux-swap
- 126GB for /home
I thought that root "/" directory needs only for install OS and nothing more so that "/home" is intended for my software, but it seems like my software is placed in "/" directory whenever I install new program. The question is: should I reinstall my OS and allocate more space for "/" directory or I don't understand something because now I have only 2GB free from 10GB of root directory, and I'm afraid when I'm going to install more software it's gonna be full?

this may have been true 15 years ago, for some people, ... actually even then I would have recommended more.
