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.

    Some prefer CloneZilla, some prefer Acronis, the idea is the same though.

    Just don’t forget to expand your volumes once you’re done cloning

      Add to this: I once used clonezilla to clone boot drive with LUKS partition and let clonezilla handle partition table.

      The LUKS partition expanded, but what’s under LUKS partition is bugged (keeps it’s initial size, but there is no free space in LUKS container), I have to use gparted in a live system to fix it.
