I'm waiting in the exact same position. I'm thinking I want at least a 60% drop on the base steam price.. staying hopeful

In the future, you should look into using LVMs for your partitions. I ran into a similar problem recently where my /var needed to be increased - I was able to run a simple lvextend -L+4G /dev/myvg/var --resizefs to grow my /var by 4 gigabytes.

Before I was using LVMs though I used a gparted live disk a lot

I've been a decades long Gentoo user, but now I'm experimenting with NixOS as I've gotten older and value my time more. The 12+ hours of compiling when there's a chromium / QT update is no longer a badge of honor. I haven't fully converted though, Gentoo binary packages are working as an acceptable stopgap

I'm using Gentoo with systemd and a customized kernel, and additionally I have the /usr partition LUKS encrypted. Because /usr is absolutely essential for systemd to function, I configured dracut to make a specially crafted initrd which activates the luks lvm and prompts for the password to decrypt and mount /usr on startup before systemd init tries to run.

About a year or two ago, some update to dracut or some other dependency (assumption) caused the dracut generated initrd's to kernel panic. After multiple days of troubleshooting, I discovered that just copying forward an older initrd in /boot and naming it to match the new kernel, e.g. initramfs-6.6.38-gentoo.img , allows the system to boot normally .

So, my Gentoo is booting a kernel 6.6.something with a ramdisk generated in the 5.9 kernel era. I am dreading the day when this behavior breaks and I can no longer update my kernel 😳
