I don’t know what else to say or what other logs to give other that what I have below. Thank you for the help.

Remove old entries youve created with this tool, or grow that partition.
There’s no reason you should have a ton of different boot entries to snapshots.
Exactly, can’t you put a 5 or 10 snapshots limit where older get deleted as new ones are created? Timeshift has that
what tool?
limine-snapper-info says I have 0 snapshots out of 8.
❮ sudo snapper list # │ Type │ Pre # │ Date │ User │ Cleanup │ Description │ Userdata ──┼────────┼───────┼──────┼──────┼─────────┼─────────────┼───────── 0 │ single │ │ │ root │ │ current │Then what’s taking up all the space? If you want the tool to work, then grow the partition to get past the space limitation. Simple as that.
I don’t have even the slightest idea of what is take up all the space. My main problem isn’t that the snapshot feature isn’t work but the fact that I don’t know why its saying 85% of the boot partition has been usage up is my main concern. Just like you said I could just increase the size of the partition but that might just delay my issue until later and then I would have the same issue but twice the size.
