Can I use a NVME SSD ?

Been running Fedora this way for about 3 years now.

df -h

Where is nvme0n1p3... an 'extended' partition holding p4?

It appears to be swap.

Well...I am none the wiser, as to why this rotten thing was so slow with the partitions I put there.
Correction: I do know.

That is why. How I managed to allocate such a 'tight' space there, I have no clue

Lesson learned.

Thank you, @Alexzee and @dos2unix for prompting me.

The gparted now looks like this:

You would think that after all the screwing around I have done with Linux over the last 6/7 years, I would know better. Obviously not.

But....I am learning !...Constantly!

For now, the system is running like a dream. Super fast. Super reliable.

As are we all, I hope. I know I am.

The list of Linux things I don't know is probably longer than the list of Linux things I do know - and I've been at it for a reasonably long time.
