Question

Hello I am trying to add up some unallocated space to

my main root partition on Linux. I read a few articles and I really don't know what to do and I'm really worried to mess everything up. Can someone please guide me to know what to do and increase the partition size? Thanks

Boot live gparted ISO and do it from there

Thank you so much. Just to be more safe, do you suggest any article to read before doing this? I am a little worried about my files.

You might want to not include /home and the OS backup together. If I were you I would back them up separately
