Root partition size increase

Hello my prealocated root space was 20Gb recently, I ran out of space in root is there a way for me to allocate some space from home partition

The easiest way is probably to boot into a GParted Live image and do it from there. Don't forget to make a backup of all your data you don't want to lose (in case something goes wrong).

That said, you can probably free some space on your root partition by clearing the pacman cache.

Reference the following in the Arch Wiki for cleaning the package cache:

Okey A kind of bad asking is there a way to get debian with live image. Again sorry we are arch users we could use arch live boot but still curious

Yes you could also just do it from debian... it doesn't really matter, but you need to pay close attention and if you're asking like you're asking the safest way to do this is from anything that has Gparted on it.
