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.
Clonezilla https://clonezilla.org/
Clonezilla is an awesome tool. If you have doubts about the procedure test it out in a virtual machine. Testing in VMs will save you so much grief.
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
Look at Clonezilla. It’s a specialized Linux distro that does some interesting things, including cloning.
When I tried it I found it confusing and didn’t feel like figuring it out at the time so I just did a clean install ahaha. YMMV.
