One occasional problem I had on my previous laptop was it would fill up 
the root partition every now and then with old cached package files. These 
are normally not needed after the package is actually installed.

Check your disk usage for this cache with

    du -ks /var/cache/apt/archives/

and see if it looks excessive. Anything you delete from there should be 
automatically downloadable again if it’s needed. ;)
