From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Delete some of the stuff you installed, and don't install more stuff than you have space for?
To be clear, I have a home partition with over 300GB of free space left. Is there maybe a way to specify packages to be installed in my home partition instead of my root?
As people have mentioned there are alternate package managers that can provide this if you are concerned about resizing ur root partition and expect it to fill up again soon. Check out Guix, nix, or flatpaks (definitely the easiest to quickly setup )
