Here is the result of running lsblk on my machine
NAME        MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
zram0       252:0    0   7.5G  0 disk [SWAP]
nvme0n1     259:0    0 238.5G  0 disk 
├─nvme0n1p1 259:1    0   260M  0 part /boot/efi
├─nvme0n1p2 259:2    0 153.4G  0 part 
├─nvme0n1p5 259:3    0     1G  0 part /boot
└─nvme0n1p6 259:4    0  82.9G  0 part /home
                                      /
What confuses me is the fact that I have both a /boot and a /boot/efi. Are both partitions needed? Can I safely delete one of them?
