Finally decided I think I am going to get a Steam Deck. Decided to look at upgrading the hard drive, it is a little more compacted than I thought it would be. For those who have swapped, was it easy enough?

Yes. You just have to copy your existing system to your new drive. I used dd for this. Afterwards resize your storage partition (the largest one) on the new drive. I used gparted for this for it's simplicity.

if you don't care about the content of the drive (just steam games and everything in steam cloud), you can basically just reinstall steamOS with the official image
