GParted is that famous partition manager that practically every Linux user has ever used. Its developers are taking their time to include news, so much that it took 15 years to version 1.0, but any improvement is welcome and yesterday they launched GParted 1.1.0. The new version does not include very important news, but it does correct several bugs that will make using this tool more reliable and stable. In addition, they have also included three new functions.
In total, GParted 1.1.0 has corrected 11 bugs, one of them so important that the developer team has included it in the key changes section. To be more specific, this is a patch that fixes a crash when moving a locked LUKS-encrypted partition. You have the complete list of changes after the cut.

GParted is available in the official repositories of many Linux distributions, but in most of them it is in a very old version. If we want to use the latest version, the only option we have is to download the software from its official website that you can access from this link.
It's the only way? No SNAPs or Flatpaks? ?
