my current Ubuntu 18.04 installation is on an old laptop and I have now bought a new one. I am currently working with the old laptop and am in the middle of a project. I installed a lot of different things, set up different workspaces for python and ROS.
Now I want to start working on my new laptop, but I do not want to invest a lot of time installing everything again and setting everything up again.
What is the best way to move to a new computer?

As suggested in the comments - it is best to install things from scratch and backup only needed files and configurations, as new hardware configurations on a new computer might actually not fully function (such as drivers and overall filesystem and hardware indexing). Same goes for Windows.
But if you still want to give it a try (as it might work even better than expected), there are many ways to accomplish that. I think this thread offers most of the common tools and ways to do so: How to make a disk image and restore from it later?
