And really I don't see the point of doing so, anyway – it's going to be easier to move the rest of the existing Arch installation to the new disk than to install it again. If you want to keep all the existing configs, you can literally keep them. | |

Can't really buy a new SSD right now though since I got the SSHD for free from a friend who didn't need it anymore. Also this might sound a bit stupid but do you think it just might be possible to rsync (with the new options you gave) this /usr onto the the new os after I install arch on the SSHD rather than reinstalling everything and setting all my hyprland apps and Configs again? Or will it just be way too much of a hassle? | |
