I currently dual-boot Arch and Windows and just use the Windows EFI partition in Arch as well, however I only have about 13 MB of space left on it.
I’d like to try installing Gentoo on an extra SSD I have with nothing on it, but don’t really want to have a second EFI partition if I can avoid it.
So my question is, can I shrink the Windows main partition towards the right and expand the the Windows EFI partition into the newly freed space?

Looking at the available options, I see many programs such as Ardour and Audacity that seems to focus on recording, mixing, streaming, etc. But what should use it to actually edit the thing?
By that I mean changing the order of things, removing silences, involuntary sounds, and noises, adding music and sound effects, as well as making what I'm saying more concise and intelligible.
I have a background in video editing, and I'm used to working in the "timeline paradigm" that is common to Adobe Premiere and older versions of Final Cut (I have no idea what Final Cut looks like now...). But I have no idea how to edit stuff using actual audio software, I've only used those to treat audio and then finish editing on other programs.
I'd use a video editor for that, but I currently don't own any machine powerful enough to use a video editor software comfortably.

Asking for a friend. 😉
In all seriousness, the question was inspired by the news out of Google and specifically @Whom's comment here.
What should non-technical laypeople know about AI?
The info doesn't have to be limited to just this particular news item either. What information would you want included in an AI 101 rundown? What is it currently used for? What will it do in the future? What are its limitations? What are its potentials?
And, of course, how should people interpret stuff like today's big news item?
