I was recently given a completely new workstation at work. My old workstation has Kubuntu 20.04 and the new one has better hardware in every respect. I'm looking to install Kubuntu 22.04 on it.
I put all my data in my account's /home, which is its own partition on its own nvme drive. I'd like to use the (faster) drive in the machine already as the new home of my home partition, and install the OS on a different partition. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on the most graceful way to affect the switch.
My current plan is to use my boot-drive USB to do a partitioned install on the new machine, and then copy the files in home over using an external drive. (including the various dotfiles that are used for configurations). This seems inefficient, though. If I can plug my old home partition into the new machine, then affect the transfer somehow thereafter, it seems like it might be faster/easier.
Thanks for the advice.
