out of space on /root

For my needs, writing shell scripts and editing configurations, pluma is
the best editor. An issue with editors such as pluma could be using
them with root privileges, but it not necessarily is an issue and apart
from this running e.g. "sudo rm /run/user/1???/dconf/user" could help,
if it should be an issue. For simple editors, e.g. xfw it never is an
issue. Pluma is similar to the old gedit with a menu bar, but with nicer
default colours for the highlighting. If you push F11 you get the full
screen. Depending on the used environment and/or used distro launching
pluma from command line better is done by running
"pluma filename 2>/dev/null".

Geany, sublime and a lot of other "editors" might have improvements for
those who need it for programming languages, let alone all the
bloated integrated development environments that could be used with git
and that provide other features not everybody needs. If I need git, I
run git from command line.

Vim users usually want features such as vim's diff, but I'm simply using
diff and meld. Using meld for a diff allows also to edit the files.
