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.

Nobody mentioned it yet, but my current no hassle solution is to:
just physically move the nvme from one computer to the other
That's all I've done, or imaged it to a new drive. Linux is glorious for portability.
i've done this a couple times w sata and pata drives and it works; there's lots to clean up to do, but it works.
Or if you want to use the new drive, clone your drive to the new one(using clonezilla for example)
