I'm constantly using fdisk on GPT and everything has been fine. Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov
That's only true in recent times, because in the past fdisk didn't support GPT at all. Back then you had to use tools like parted.

Is there a way to expand xfs filesystem /dev/nvme0n1p2 which is 7.8G and occupy the remaining free disk space of 60GB?

How did you end up in this situation? Did you copy the data from a smaller disk to this 60G disk?

Looks like you could move p3 to the end of the disk and then enlarge p2 and then grow the XFS on it.
I'm not sure it's a good idea to use fdisk on a GPT disk. At least in the past this wasn't supported and I don't know how much has changed here. I didn't touch a lot of GPT systems yet, and where I did I felt frightened by the whole EFI stuff :)
