In their own words
GParted
GParted is a free graphical editor for managing disk partitions. It can create, delete, resize, move, check, label, and copy partitions, as well as assign a new UUID. It can also create partition tables such as msdos and gpt. Supported storage includes hard drives, USB flash devices, SSDs, NVMe, and RAID devices. The project lists filesystems including bcachefs, btrfs, exFAT, ext2/3/4, FAT16/32, NTFS, and XFS, although available actions vary by filesystem. GParted Live provides a bootable GNU/Linux environment that can run from CD, USB, a PXE server, or a hard disk. Current Live releases are 64-bit amd64 images and work with UEFI Secure Boot; native installation requires Linux. At least 1 GB of RAM is needed to use all application features. The project warns that partition editing can cause data loss and recommends backing up first. It also provides instructions for checking downloads with a signed checksum list and GPG.
