I possess a Linux machine (Pop OS 22.04) with this disk layout, and I need to combine two non-adjacent volumes: nvme0n1 and nvme0n1p3. Since you're using a modern distribution like KDE or Gnome, the process is safer now compared to years ago. You can safely move p5 into p3 without major risks.

I’d confirm having a backup ready. However, I also believe it’s wise to maintain a system backup regularly. While the chances are modest, it’s better to be prepared in case of issues.

It seems I wasn't required to shift partitions after all. It turned out my root partition was full due to Docker. I plan to combine the Windows section with the home partition and then relocate the Docker root directory there.

It's often wise to allocate Docker its own partition because it can consume space rapidly. If you haven't already, remove outdated images, networks, and other files using docker system prune -a. This will eliminate unused items such as old images that build up over time and take up unnecessary space.
