Yes.

I had downloaded a 19.04 iso, and booted into that, and used the
partition manager to double the size of the / partition (which at
present, includes /home).

I will later try again to boot into Ubuntu, to get the data out
applicable to the Ubuntu installation, and, it has an old Debian
installation, and, the /home partition for that, so, I will find what
I can do about extracting all the data from the Linux installations,
then attempt a system rebuild, with repartitioning, and, more
properly, implementing a separate /home partition for Ubuntu.
