[Trisquel-devel] No space left on device when installing software

Have installed Trisquel 11.  And installing other software (gcc, 
emacs, texinfo, texlive, kdenlive, python).

I am finding that I run out of space when installing the software
I need for my system.

For instance doing `make` on the latest Python release gives

../../../src/Python/python-3.13.3/Parser/parser.c:42298:1: 
fatal error: error writing to /tmp/ccC4u7pE.s: No space left on device
42298 | }
      | ^
compilation terminated.

With 

df -h /tmp

showing

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3        23G   22G   11M 100% /

Trisquel 11 installation set the size automatically.  Is it appropriate
at this time (2025) to have the size set at 23G?

How about `root`?
