It refuses to boot on many systems. On their new gitlab the author himself recommends getting any other distro and using gparted there.
He blames it on the decision to use Debian without non-free as base. (His decision? I don't know.)
That doesn't apply to any of my cases however. They work fine with just about every distro.
Gparted live has always severely neglected in my experience and is a complete waste of time. I've repeatedly tried it for many years, spending untold hours giving every combination of params a shot. I don't know why this is so terrible, but it is consistently so.
Do what its author says and use anything else. systemrescuecd, grml, etc.

I love the simplicity of GParted Live, but it didn't load on a machine that I was trying to re-partition.
I don't know why and I didn't investigate further. (I went with SystemRescue and its version of GParted to deal with that stubborn computer.)
Otherwise, it has worked fine in many situations and for many years. It's quick and easy, once you figure out which disk and partition you need to format or to resize, it's easy. I appreciate all of the disk formats that it's capable of writing (ext4, ntfs, exfat, etc.): it's a useful tool for preparing and modifying Linux or Windows machines (probably BSD as well, but haven't tried that) and the live ISO makes it easier.
It's as easy or as complicated as you want to make it to be, if it boots correctly.
It does load from Ventoy, so that's a plus. Add it to your toolbox and you can partition to your heart's desires.

I have used GPartEd in the past on many hard drives and SSDs. I find it a bit awkward
at times due to the interface which is more like XP than the KDE I have been using.
In the past I have used a commercial Linux product which is very similar but the results
in either case are completely satisfactory. It has kept up with the times as far as EFI
and still accommodates the use of the BIOS. I tried to buy a copy of the commercial
product to safely re-partition the Windows Disk or SSD found in many computers but I
have problems with my account being unable for some reason to give me the link.
