Since 16.04, nothing else should really be necessary.
I would NOT suggest people blindly increase the size of /, unless it is less than 30G. If it is over 30G, something else is wrong and steps should be taken to correct those other issues.
Code:
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vgubuntu--mate-root ext4 17G 8.5G 7.4G 54% /
That's a 20.04 desktop. The trick is that /home is mounted to different storage.
Code:
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vgubuntu--mate-home ext4 12G 6.0G 5.3G 54% /home
/boot is part of / on this system - it uses legacy boot, not UEFI. On systems with a separate /boot/, then I'd run sudo apt autoremove every 2 weeks.
