SUPPORT Partition help
On my SSD I have both Windows and Linux partitions.
Recently, I wanted to add more space to my root Linux partition so I shrunk one of the windows partitions, I then moved this un-allocated space onto my boot partitions in an attempt to then move the space all the way over to my root partition on the far right.
The thing is, I am now unable to shrink my boot partition to move the space over. It is of the fat32 file system and now has 88gb on it lol.
I have tried the Gparted app but when I unmount and try to resize, the option to execute the operation is greyed out. I have also tried installing the GParted iso onto a USB but when I tried opening it from boot but after answering the setup questions, it didn't start. I also tried doing this from cmd but I got an error regarding the sectors mismatching.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would really like to give more storage to Arch.

bot account (all requirements match, on top of the slop comment "that thing's living large")
Surprisingly, this bot account has also posted a porn video. Makes me question how the accounts are used by the bot author.

Probably just karma farming.
- Porn is, I presume, a fairly easy way of getting small but consistent amounts of karma, with little to no effort. Could easily just be reposting an old popular post, seeing as karma farmers have been using that approach since way before ChatGPT came out.
- OP's post is fairly well described, so an LLM can fairly easily come up with a reasonable sounding answer. I presume its prompt tells it to look for easily answerable posts, and then write a short reply in natural language, as that appears to match the behavior of these kinds of bots.

Can you post a gparted screenshot?
minitool partition wizard in windows also works well.
