Hey there, just joined. I'm new to the Linux community, so apologies if my usage of Linux terminology is very sub-par. I'm trying to partition a USB stick (It's a Samsung one, don't know if that matters or not), and I'm not seeing the "Free Space" beneath the /dev/sdb. All it has beneath it is /dev/sdb1. I'll drop some pictures momentarily. I just wanna know how I get said 'Free Space' to show up like the guy on the tutorial got it.

That effectively deletes the partition that's there giving you "free space"

I am assuming you have nothing on said USB that you want to keep

Do I dare ask why you're making a USB your default disk for an install?

And I am guessing dualbooting on that drive is a nono and you have no second drive you could use?

I do, but said second drive is larger than my C drive and is where a lot of other stuff is stored

Then I guess it makes sense for now.

Just wanting to keep my stuff safe while being able to dip my toes in the Linux waters to see if I like it
