You'll want a -a
on that cp
to preserve permissions.
usermod -l
and a symlink is my plan.
Nice plan, I used a symlink to quickly heal fixed paths in configs like
ln -s /home/NewAffirmingName/ /home/OldName/
That way if a setting I transferred over is trying to pull a file from /home/OldName/Gamesave instead of ~/Gamesave it will still work... unless it doesn't recognize symlinks... but for a lot of stuff it has been working.
Im happy to say, I have zero proper security practices, 90% of my machines run as root >:3 also CONFIG_MULTIUSER=N is something I have done, so I funny enough cannot relate
I want to do this but I'm scared of my transphobic parents seeing it
