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.

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.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
