When I installed the zorin 18, I created the following partitions:
/ with 50GB in ext4 format
Home with 110GB in ext4 format
The thing is, the / partition is almost completely occupied, and I only have 2.82GB free.
Immediately after the home partition, I have 132GB of free space, so I thought I'd do the following:
Move the home partition about 30GB toward the free space, leaving 30GB between the / partition and the home partition. After that, increase the / partition by 30GB.
I simulated moving the home partition using the Zorin Live program I have (the same one I used to install Zorin), and using gparted, I was able to move the home partition as described above, but I didn't complete the operation.
I've already created a backup of the home partition using the Backup application. As I have never done this, I would like information about the possibility of using the above routine?

That sounds like exactly what should be done in your scenario. You've got a backup available already, very good, so as far as I'm concerned you're good to go using the steps you've detailed. It's a regular thing that has to be done, and just having a backup just in case is always good to do.

Hello
Thanks for the reply.
I don't know much about Linux yet, so I'd rather get my questions answered first.
