I just bought a new computer. I’ll install fedora silverblue. Do I just need to copy the home directory? And crontab. What else do I need to move?

Thx.

Meaning, backup a list of flatpak apps and reinstall them on the new machine

See if flatpak has some sort of export format that would let you install everything the same on the other machine. Some package managers have that.

I think I wrote a function for that a year ago, I’ll have a look

If you set up flatpak as --user, bringing your home directory over would be 99% of the job.

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.
