gparted and clonezilla are useful tools. Using them again today to clone a 512GB nvme SSD to a slightly smaller new 500GB nvme SSD.

Gparted to shrink and move partions, Clonezilla to clone (Expert Mode, option -icds, to skip check the size of the drive it is cloning to).

If a Window NTFS partition, run chkdsk in Windows after resizing the partition with gparted and before cloning with CloneZilla. Otherwise, the clone will fail (happened the first time I tried it, worked fine after running chkdsk from Windows on that partition).
