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.

Right click, resize/move.
To add on to this, don't click the handles on the boot block, click and drag the entire boot block itself. You'll be able to move the boot partition to the left, then you can extend your main partition.
i'll try this as soon as i have the time to flash the live iso. Btw i think i already tried it many times but it didn't work. I've even watched tutorials. It just does nothing

I moved the boot parition successfully but i'm afrad that it's gonna break my system somehow. Do i have to reinstall the grub? How? And by the way now that the two partitions are close together if i try to resize/move the "new Partition #1" i can't expand it nor move it anywhere, same thing with /dev/nvme0n1p5
Thanks i will try this as soon as i can
Just to add to what @skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl said, in case you break Grub, you might want to use Boot Repair on the live disk or something similar. Then you don't have to deal with the terminal commands people have suggested to you.

Yeah i already know that
So, I've had it not work before, usually for odd reasons. One thing to try is to delete the other partition, then apply, then try to move it.
Resize/move is finicky though.
It shouldn't do "nothing". Once you press apply, it's possible you get error messages, but it shouldn't say it's complete and do nothing. That would be a big bug!
