I am using arch-linux dual-boot windows currently on Asus ZenBook UX305 Laptop with 256 GB memory. I have approximately 70GB given to linux and rest to windows. I need to install a software which needs 17GB memory free and I prefer installing it in my linux os, but as you would have guessed I dont have enough space. My root has ~13 GB free while my home has ~16 GB free and Windows has enough free space.
Here is screenshot of GParted partition window.
Device--------Size----Used---Unused--% Used---Mount Point
/dev/sda5----42G----28G----12G-------70%-------/
/dev/sda6----26G----8.8G---16G-------36%-------/home
/dev/sda4----162M--49M----114M-----30%-------/boot
/dev/sda3----167G--148G---19G------ 89%-------/run/media/naman/OS
Is it possible to resize my root partition for the partition table to install the big software in linux partition (even bit unsafe method?!).
fdisk
into your question.fdisk -l /dev/sda
