Hello guys,I want to install package "cuda".However,it says that my / partition is too full. How can I solve this? Or How can I extend the / partition?

Here is the error:

Well, the error is clear and true. You need ca. 4.5GB and there are 1.6GB available.

please read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Partitioning
It should be possible to shrink and move your /dev/nvme1n1p3 partition and afterwards expand your /dev/nvme1n1p2 partition.
Please make sure, you have a backup before you do this.
I would recommend, you use a GUI frontend for partinioning from a live-system to do this job.

Most likey "pacman -Scc"

Did you use some install helper or how did you end up with only a 20gb partition for /?

15–20 GiB should be sufficient for most users with modern hard disks.

The partition size requirements are very dependent on what you plan to do with the system and 20GB on the root *can* be plenty enough.
Except oc. if you want to install plasma, gnome, some games, …

When I look at the potential available diskspace of OP, I personally would recommand a root partition of 70-100GB. But this is only my humble opinion
