Hello, I've been searching online for a while now about creating a new partition in Linux. Everyone mentions fdisk, but when I try to launch it, it shows an error saying the device can't be opened. I'm using Elementary OS on a Debian-based system. Can someone help or walk me through this?

Use GParted with the specified package managers. For Debian/Ubuntu, run apt-get install gparted. For Arch, use sudo pacman -S gparted. On RHEL, Cent, or Fedora, install via dnf.

You're attempting to install Debian using the provided link. The command will download the package for gparted version 0.19.0.

It comes pre-installed on Ubuntu systems. Use sudo Gparted to launch it.

Debian is the elementary version I'm familiar with.

Your terminal is pulling from Ubuntu repos because it's configured to use those sources for package management.
