I love using Ubuntu. I HATE installing Ubuntu. because I usually either make a bad installation / partitioning decision OR I cannot figure out how to adjust partitions and disk space.

and here we are again. I am trying to install on an old outdated Windows 10 system but everything I try to do to adjust these partitions seems to fail. don't I just want:

  1. a partition to maintain Windows (rarely used but sometimes handy when something doesn't work with Linux. that 12GB partition looks to already have W10 so I would keep it.
  2. a big data partition. there is about 500GB that seem available for that.
  3. a ... approx 15-20gb partition for Ubuntu.

why can I not "shrink" the big 500gb data partition to take a chunk for a Ubuntu install partition?

how do I get rid of these little scraps

500gb partition

no clue
