How do I extend the "games" partition?
Looking to extend the games partition using the unallocated space here. I'm assuming I need to move one of them but not sure how

Figured it out. Had to swap unallocated and sde5 under sde4, then I could move unallocated out of sde4 then swap it with 3, then 2 then I was able to extend 1

Got it out of sde4 which is my Bazzite partition but I'm assuming I need to put it next to "Games" somehow so that I can extend games?

i will just note that your install is unsupported as its not an UEFI install, its installed in legacy mode (CSM mode)
also NTFS is not supported as a games drive
How did you find that out?
Only mbr/bios/legacy installs use extended partitions because the disk is using an MBR partition table.
GPT partition tables do not use extended partitions (which are a pita) as they are not needed.
But you can double check if efi is exposed once you're booted as it might be installed in hybrid mode which is not really something we test on
I'm at work atm so I don't have the command handy to check if the installed system is installed as an EFI system
check if
/sys/firmware/efi exist i think.
if its there then its in a hybrid install (mbr partition table with efi install)
so just note thats not something we test on.
changing the partition table requires wiping the whole disk so most likely not something you want to do since it is clearly a disk you are actively using
