    Please edit your question to add output of lsblk --fs How to do this depends on a few factors: some file system types cannot be reduced, and how to deal with the encryption layer. Commented Nov 15 at 4:54

    @JohnMahowald Done. I couldn't make the output look just like in the terminal, I hope it's readable. Let me know if I should edit something. Commented Nov 15 at 12:22
  • Almost all encrypted installs use LVM. I have one encrypted partition just for some data I consider more important. I believe in Pareto or the 80/20 rule. So do not encrypt install or most of my data. If dual booting do not share /boot, you should share /boot/efi or the ESP partition. May be better to encrypt data and not installs? Make sure ;you have good backups before any changes. Commented Nov 16 at 15:14
