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.

I recently removed windows 10 from my pc, how can i merge the unallocated space with /dev/nvme0n1p5? There's the boot partition between so i can't just adjust one of them and merge with the other using the resize/move button. How can i do it?

If I may ask, why not just format it normally and mount it to a directory in your system? Why does it need to be merged ?

Just create a new partition, then in your home folder or somewhere else idk, create a folder and choose that as mount point.
