Hi, i am in the process of trying to add a 2nd linux distro on my ssd,
and need to resize my partition
and just want to check if creating a new partition table will delete all the data on the ssd or not
i want to install antergos, and there doesn't seem to be a way of accessing gparted or fdisk from the graphical installer ...
thx

Based on your limited understanding, I would recommend not proceeding to avoid total data loss. Try it in a VM and do some experiments to get familiar with the concepts.

thx, just had an idea though, it would maybe be easier to resize the partition by attaching the ssd to another pc running on a different ssd, and resizing it from gparted from there

You can do so from a live distro like Ubuntu, but even then you risk total data loss. Get backups.

Assuming you have a vanilla install without luks or lvm
Expand your boot to accommodate the other distro
Create or reclaim space from your / partition to create another / partition
Share your /home partition
Wa-lah
