I just bought a new computer. I’ll install fedora silverblue. Do I just need to copy the home directory? And crontab. What else do I need to move?

    Nice one.

    On silverblue, everything is installed within a distrobox. I should back that up and make sure it’s in my home folder.

      No not everything is installed in a Distrobox.

      • the core system contains base stuff
      • you can layer needed apps that need to be on the base system
      • GUI apps are preferred as Flatpaks
      • some random stuff may be in a Toolbox or Distrobox
      • you can use pip, cargo and others on the base OS to install binaries there.
