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.

    You could just use the “dd” command. Example: sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb status=progress # In this example, sda is the source drive and sdb is the destination…

      Remember, dd stands for disk destroyer. It’s a powerful tool, but if you mistype something or get drives mixed up you will destroy data.

      I like ddrescue for almost every case I would use dd :)
