I recently swapped my hdd with an ssd and performed a fresh install of fedora, When I went to reinstall my flatpak application it is requiring me to install gigabytes worth of dependencies and libraries, I am in a Data crunch and I still have the old files; is it possible to just copy the dependencies over and which files am i supposed to copy? (Old installation was also fedora with same username and passwd)

    I wouldn’t recommended it. It would be better to delete the old stuff and download fresh

        This might sound silly, but couldn’t you just get a better connection? You are using bandwidth for lemmy so your internet can’t be that bad. In the worst case you can just go to your local library.

            Possibly, that’s why I said “silly”. I’m just curious what there internet access looks like
