A big one you can correct by editing is to place code tags around any command output you paste here so that it retains the legibility it presented on your own screen. It's hard to decipher command output that's all bunched together without the whitespace the command originally produced.
I have a PC with OS, CPU and graphics almost same as yours:
Code:
# df -h /
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
#
Notable differences are:
I'm using an SSD instead of HDD
I'm using TDM instead of LightDM or SDDM
I'm using TDE instead of Gnome or XFCE
I only use Xorg, never Wayland
I don't boot using rhgb quiet
My / filesystem is much smaller, with only 1.4G of freespace
Your kernel is a little older
I'm having no issues with free disk space, RAM, lagging, buffering or screen freezes.
Maybe a newer kernel would help?
<<< My system has a [240gb] SSD as disk0, an ide hdd[1TB]as disk1.
My fedora is installed in SSD [disk0] along with Windows 10 -dual boot using Grub2win
whilst disk1 is mainly for data & backup.
If I were to follow, what is the apps name for TDM, TDEr,hgb to download & install.
Can I upgrade my kernel without reinstalling Fedora 37
thanks

TDM and TDE installation instructions are here. rhgb is a boot parameter I omit that inxi reports you are using.

Of course. Kernels are upgraded along with normal Fedora upgrades thus:
Code:
sudo dnf upgrade
As your freespace is running low, I suggest to free some before adding software or upgrading. Very likely you will gain a good amount from doing:
Code:
sudo dnf clean packages
Another place where considerable space is often wasted is keeping old journal log files. Check in the directory /var/log/journal/ if it exists. If it does, it will contain at least one subdirectory that may contain a number of large, useless old log files. Any more than a few weeks or months old can be safely deleted. Keeping these logs, if they exist, to a manageable size, can be done automatically by customizing /etc/systemd/journald.conf.
-The response is:
Coundn't find EFI system partition. It is recommended to mount-it to /boot
or /efi.
Alternatively, use --esp-path= to specify path to mount point.
System: Not booted with EFI
Q1:What does it mean? If its the cause then why did this freezes,dropping ethernet connection did not happen when I was using
Fedora 36. All these problem started after I have upgraded to Fedora 37.
-Q2: Assuming that I need to mount the EFI partition, what must I do?
(mine is dual booted Fedora 37 with Windows 10 using Grub2win boot loader- Grub2win was installed when I had installed
Fedora 36)
Thanks

Code:
I have tried the suggestion, sudo dnf upgrade. Has downloaded 890.mb,-running ,transaction check and etc.
Gives better internet speed improvements but freezing is awful. Takes tens of seconds to response to simple mouse clicks.
Freezing, lagging is awful.Is just not practical to operate.
What options do I have besides re-installing Fedora 37
hm. That is quite strange, it looks like /dev/sda9 mounted twice (/ and /home are both the same device). That is definitely incorrect, you ought to fix it somehow.

I did ask for output from cat /etc/fstab early in thread, but it never came. Same partition mounted to both / and /home doesn't bode well for successful repair. Did OP save any older copies of fstab we can take a look at and compare to the forthcoming current version?

Code:
As I am completely new to linux\Fedora, I am unaware of my mistake and has allowed it to happen. so what must I do to
correct the mistake?
Do I have to re-install Fedora? and if yes how should I partition it?
Thanks

Code:
I may have tried going to /etc/fstab earlier but was lost in xfce terminal (is a linux newbie -do not know how to operate a terminal)
and gave up trying.
Now at this point what must I do? Do I have to re-install Fedora?
Thanks

Code tags are for pasting input/output from running commands, to preserve their formatting, not for ordinary comments.
Command output can be redirected to a file, and the file used to copy and paste from. e.g.:
Code:
cat /etc/fstab > newfile.txt
would make a copy of /etc/fstab named newfile.txt in the current directory.
Whether you have a repairable problem I have doubts about, especially if you are unable to show us the content of /etc/fstab. Starting over by installing afresh is very likely to be the easier path forward. I would like to see output from sudo fdisk -l and content of /etc/fstab first.
