Increase Kubuntu partition size while shrinking Windows 10 partition.
Hey there, I see you're managing a dual-boot setup with Kubuntu and Windows 10. You're looking to free up space on your Windows partition so you can expand the Kubuntu partition, enable hibernation, and still access Windows for gaming. You can achieve this by adjusting the partition sizes using disk management tools like GParted or Disk Management depending on your OS. Since you want to make space available for Kubuntu without losing its bootability, consider resizing the Windows partition first, then reconfiguring the boot order in GRUB. This way, you’ll keep your system functional while optimizing storage.
Setting up a swap drive is straightforward. Start by logging into Windows and opening Disk Management. Choose the desired drive, right-click, and select shrink it to the required MB for swap space. Save the changes—this marks the drive as unallocated space. Once done, you can use GParted in Kubuntu to create a swap partition. Regarding booting Ubuntu while Windows is in hibernation, this isn't feasible with multiple OSes at the moment (someone verify that).
