Very new on Linux/Fedora, I need help with '/boot has no space left'

My Timeshift file is under / only and not /boot, at least on Mint where I had the most saved. I also erased a lot of what I saved to keep the last one/last two ones only.

Just because I rebooted my laptop and could take the photo of my grub lol :laughing: here it is.

I don’t know why Mint kernel 51 still appears while I suppressed it in update manager, I guess the update grub command wasn’t inputted well. I’m okay with that tho, I know I only have two kernels in anyway.

For the rest… It’ll be another day lol :laughing: thanks for your help everyone

This is what I was thinking I’d see. Thanks for booting Mint to show it to us!

I don’t know much about the history of Fedora, but it seems perfectly reasonable to have a separate, unencrypted partition to mount at /boot if you’re likely to have an encrypted entire partition for / and /home. It makes booting a fair bit easier. You don’t need it if you’re not doing the latter, but the trade off is it does put your data at rest at a higher risk.

Honestly about Fedora I didn’t partition myself. I just chose to free 80-ish GB for it, and then the install did the rest and created the necessary partitions. I accepted the encrypted data at the beginning since it seemed unanimously recommended.
