[Swlug] Safely resize linux partitions?

[Mark Summerfield]

Hi,

I hope someone can give me some clear and safe steps to follow please!

I have this partition table:

Filesystem                   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                         7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs                        1.6G  2.9M  1.6G   1% /run
/dev/nvme0n1p2                51G   45G  3.1G  94% /
tmpfs                        7.8G   21M  7.8G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                        5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs                        7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/nvme0n1p3               396G  214G  163G  57% /home
/dev/nvme0n1p1               234M  6.1M  228M   3% /boot/efi

It is one single SSD /dev/nvme0n1p1

The order (left to right shown in gparted) is:
[/dev/nvme0n1p1 /boot][/dev/nvme0n1p2 /][/dev/nvme0n1p3 /home][swap]

So, I need to move /home right by 24 GB (thus shrinking it by 24 GB and
avoiding the swap -- which I don't think I ever use since I have 8 GB
RAM).
Then, stretch / by 24 GB.

Can I do this safely all in gparted live?

Or am I best using a Live USB and running gparted from there?

Or do I need to use console tools?

Thanks!
