Thanks for all the replies. It’s a single 1TB SSD so gparted sounds like the way to go.
Can always just reformat windows to ext4 and mount that separately too if I chicken out of resizing 🤣
Others have answered your questions. Just wanted to point out that 256GB is not very big, depending on how much your brother wants to download (and how much of what he downloads he wants to keep).
I do suffer from depression. Two things that made a big difference for me in terms of sleeping through the night were regular exercise and wearing earplugs. YMMV
So, excusing my ignorance as a fairly recent Linux convert, what does this mean for my dual boot system?
I haven’t booted windows for weeks and am pretty sure there have been no updates since it was freshly reinstalled (maybe 6 months ago) as a dual boot with Debian.
Is this only a problem if I allow Windows to update?
Are Microsoft likely to fix the issue in a subsequent release?
And all the wasted time getting from one job to the next. Even if the travel is all virtual you still have to get setup/organised, put one thing down and pick another up.
