I bought a new ssd that is way faster and larger than my current one. What is the best way to transfer everything from my old drive to my new one. Currently running Fedora 38, fine with the command line. If nothing else I will just do a clean install on the new drive and copy over what I need from /home on the old drive.

    Just to be clear both drives should be unmounted while you run dd on them or you could get inconsistent data. There’s a blog post that has a nice graphic explaining the situation benjojo Or you could use hot-clone mentioned in the same blog.
