Hello everyone! I'm a beginner Linux user who mostly got into Linux because I needed a reliable computer for work, and all I have are dinosaurs who can't run windows 10.
I've successfully installed Linux Lite 4.8 on a Fujitsu Lifebook (with 250gb HDD, and 4gb RAM), and have been using it for work and recreation for the past 2 weeks. However, when I initially installed Linux Lite (I opted to dual boot as it is my first install of any Linux OS), I only allotted 90gb to it because I thought I would have to use Windows more. Now, I find that I almost exclusively use Linux (The performance improvement is just amazing) and would like to reduce some of the memory from Windows and give it to LL. I have a basic understanding of partitioning since learning Linux has been my recent obsession but I am not knowledgeable enough to risk re-partitioning the HDD.
Thank you!
