I need to enlarge nvme0n1p2 by shrinking nvme0n1p3 (LUKS)

    Your entire disk is already allocated. You can’t easily shrink anything and move space around.

    You also shouldn’t need to expand your boot partition at all.

    Who or what is telling you this is needed?

      debian 13 needs more boot space, my boot partition is too small to complete the upgrade

        Have you tried to do some cleaning on your /boot filesystem? It could be you have some old stuff there that may well be wasting storage

      You can resize partitions if disk is all full…depending on fs of course…but shrink, move, grow works.

          I typically use gparted live, or GNOME disk utily, so I don’t know the command names, I slide the sliders and hit OK 😀
