#Extending partition

Hey, it's more of a general linux and disk question than arch, but I think It's the correct place to ask.

I've been slowly transitioning from Windows to arch (btw) throughout the last few weeks and I'm ready to stay.
In the first picture, I show my disk partitions (dualboot, EFI is on another disk because of something unplanned in the past). I want to make space on nvme0n1p3 and extend p5 with it. Is it even possible?

I found this on a windows question, will it be viable on linux?

create a new partition in the free space
move everything from D to there (turn of the page file first, and activate it again at the end of the whole operation!)
delete D and relabel the new partition to D
After that, you can expand C into the free space (and also the new partition, if you want it to be as large as D originally was).

Also, my case is a little different since I'm transferring from back to front, not the other way around.
