From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

To make it even more foolproof install Ventoy on the flash drive and then just copy the Gparted Live ISO on the drive. Ventoy will detect the ISO and let you boot it.
You can add other useful ISO like this and have them around. You can also make folders where you put other files you need and use the drive as a regular drive, Ventoy won't mind.
But yeah, never modify partitions from the same system that runs on them, always boot into a separate flash drive.
Oh so that's what Ventoy does! I keep hearing this name but never got curious enough to dig. That's really neat.
