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.

Or if you want to use the new drive, clone your drive to the new one(using clonezilla for example)
If you’re currently running a rpm distro, you can make it easier on yourself by using the duke nukem forever command to make a list of your installed programs: dnf list installed.
Once that’s outputting an appropriate format, dump it into a text file with | oldprogs.txt.
On your new computer, that same duke nukem forever command can be used to install from the list with something like dnf install << oldprogs.txt
I bet you can come up with a way to stuff all that into a neat little one liner that’ll provide error handling, output teeing and everything else!
Thanks, I can't think of it as anything but duke nukem forever now. Your comment made my day.
duke nukem forever
My life has two eras, pre- and post- awakening to this acronym. Updates will never be the same.
One correction, it would be dnf list installed > oldprogs.txt
. > instead of |.
Depending upon how much you have customized it, you could just copy the entire OS, adjust various config files for the new partition UUID's.
