The Arch Wiki article for Partitioning is a good starting point.
Additionally, you can run
man [command name]to find the manual for each command that you're trying to use.GParted is a good graphical option that helps you finalize what's going on, as well.
Is gparted installed on mint by default? If not can I install it with a simple "apt install gparted" or it has a custom repo?
It is, but it's usually only available on the live version running off a USB to make it easier to modify the drives.
Man pages are a headache for me a lot of the time. Even with using / to search through it.

Alternatively install the tldr client and just run
tldr commandOr another method
curl cheat.sh/topicThere's also a client for it as wellThat's fair. I have 14 years of experience reading man pages, thanks for sharing the tools!
Then Arch wiki it is. Although I hope it's not too technical
