Looks like you have reached the allocation space for APFS.

I don't know what that means. On another note, could my USB drive being also inserted mess up macOS? Should I re-try rebooting and ejecting it?

No, that has no effect on this.

Using Live Ubuntu, try to run gparted and it should give you the option to expand.

Can I use the normal Gparted iso? Ubuntu is pretty heavy (almost 4gb) and my internet is rather slow.

The following steps may lead the system to an unbootable state.

Backup your data
Right click on macOS partition, select “Move/Resize”
Move macOS partition to far to the left and extend it far to the right (by using the right arrow marker)
Read and accept error message.
Let GParted do the rest and reboot.

But you can't resize the macOS partition, it's "blocked" as you can see in the screenshot.

Then unfortunately, you'll have to do a clean install.

Can I clean install in the old Linux partition (disk 2) with the latest OpenCore version and transfer all my apps/files/settings from the old installation?
