I recently removed windows 10 from my pc, how can i merge the unallocated space with /dev/nvme0n1p5? There’s the boot partition between so i can’t just adjust one of them and merge with the other using the resize/move button. How can i do it?

Just move the boot to the left and merge
how can i do that?
Right click, resize/move.
To add on to this, don’t click the handles on the boot block, click and drag the entire boot block itself. You’ll be able to move the boot partition to the left, then you can extend your main partition.
i’ll try this as soon as i have the time to flash the live iso. Btw i think i already tried it many times but it didn’t work. I’ve even watched tutorials. It just does nothing
It shouldn’t do “nothing”
Just in case you’re confused: GParted will let you collect a bunch of operations and previes the result. Just clicking the move button doesn’t apply changes to disk; you need to review your changes and hit the green button in the top left to actually alter your disk. This allows you to move the boot partition to the left and extend your main partition without having to wait for a progress bar halfway through your operations. Moving the partitions will take a while, so if they fail quickly, you’ll get an error message at the very least.
I moved the boot parition successfully but i’m afrad that it’s gonna break my system somehow. Do i have to reinstall the grub? How? And by the way now that the two partitions are close together if i try to resize/move the “new Partition #1” i can’t expand it nor move it anywhere, same thing with /dev/nvme0n1p5

Thanks i will try this as soon as i can
Just to add to what @skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl said, in case you break Grub, you might want to use Boot Repair on the live disk or something similar. Then you don’t have to deal with the terminal commands people have suggested to you.
That’s a good suggestion!
Yeah i already know that
It shouldn’t do “nothing”. Once you press apply, it’s possible you get error messages, but it shouldn’t say it’s complete and do nothing. That would be a big bug!
So, I’ve had it not work before, usually for odd reasons. One thing to try is to delete the other partition, then apply, then try to move it.
Resize/move is finicky though.
Boot on GParted ISO. Moving your boot may bork grub, so you would need to chroot and update it
