Swapping LCD drive into new OLED (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

So this is probably a dumb question, but I got a refurbished OLED and plan to pop my 2tb drive from my LCD model into the new OLED.

This should just be plug and play right? I don't see anything about the OLED decks using a different OS or firmware or anything.

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback y'all! I'm going to try it and see what happens. I'll report back if anything funky happens. Not a big deal if I end up needing to reformat the drive.

EDIT2: Replaced the stock OLED drive with the 2tb drive from the LCD this morning, and so far so good - no issues to report.

Bleeding edge kernal, atomic distro which means more power & customizability to the user.

How is an atomic distro more powerful and customizable? Also, SteamOS is also atomic.

SteamOS is immutable with the option to disable the read-only system. Bazzite is atomic because with the use of scripts you can modify the system in ways that do not break stability. You can view the FAQ if you'd like: "Since Bazzite is a custom Fedora Atomic Desktop image, it makes use of read-only root files for stability purposes, and is built with libostree which has advantages such as:

Low risk of an unbootable system
Rollback system updates if necessary, and the ability to pin your current deployment as a backup save state without losing user data.
Smooth upgrade process from major Fedora point releases.
Layer Fedora packages to the host that survive between updates.
Focus on containerized applications that do not interfere with your host system." I'm not associated with them I'm passionate about the usability & convenience of their implementations.
