Trying to use gparted

I decided to get rid of my windows boot on my legion go, and I’ve been looking into using gparted to expand my storage space on bazzite. Well, I’ve set up a bootable USB with ventoy, and I get past selecting all the setting for gparted, but no matter what I do it gets stuck on the last command screen. I’m at a complete loss.

Gets to this screen, and then just stays there.

Try the Linux Mint ISO, it ships with Gparted.

I’m pretty new to Linux, so I have no idea how I’d do that

It's just a different distro https://www.linuxmint.com It has a live USB environment that is quite useful for fixing stuff

Ohh So I’d need to rebase? That’s what that’s called right?

In a nutshell * Download mint * Copy iso to Ventoy USB * Boot Mint via Ventoy (hopefully it boots unlike gparted live) * Use Gparted to do what you need to do

You have two options. You can make a btrfs partition and use that as extended storage. Or you can move the partitions around and then expand the bazzite partition. Remember to backup anything important just incase anything goes wrong
