   @Neotheta Full root partition is really a problem I meet often, and it's unfortunately really difficult to troubleshot remotely family on Linux. It's a grave issue. I can blame:
   - The installer: proposing sometime a too small root partition by default for nowadays usage.
   - Kernel update and keeping old kernel is a thing yes!
   - But number one on my list: Flatpak. It already drowned 3 family computer here. Had to chroot them from a gparted iso...

   $ du -h /var/lib/flatpak
   12G /var/lib/flatpak

     I've been trying to use my new Debian+KDE with only graphical interface (using discover to install & update stuff). As to see how it goes, because seeing how it goes helps recommending Linux to new ppl.

     This resulted in my root partition (of recommended size) getting full because Discover doesn't mention that it doesn't delete the old kernel versions. It's good it doesn't delete them without asking, but it should recommend doing so at some point.
