From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How to reallocate disk space? (lemmy.ml)

Hi friends. I switched to Fedora and been using it for several months now. I am now using it 90% of the time but do occasionally have to boot into Windows.

I have run into a space limitation, so I want to reallocate some disk space from Windows to Fedora.

I was able to successfully unallocated space from the Windows partition but haven't been able to reallocate it to the Fedora partition.

Preferably using CLI as little as possible... 😫

Thanks in advance!

Boot from the gparted live CD/USB. Never modify the partitions while you're using them.
