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?

    Nobody mentioned it yet, but my current no hassle solution is to:

    just physically move the nvme from one computer to the other

      That’s all I’ve done, or imaged it to a new drive. Linux is glorious for portability.

      i’ve done this a couple times w sata and pata drives and it works; there’s lots to clean up to do, but it works.

      Or if you want to use the new drive, clone your drive to the new one(using clonezilla for example)
