I bought a new ssd that is way faster and larger than my current one. What is the best way to transfer everything from my old drive to my new one. Currently running Fedora 38, fine with the command line. If nothing else I will just do a clean install on the new drive and copy over what I need from /home on the old drive.

    What I did when I migrated from an HDD to an SSD was booting from an USB life image and then simply dd’ing the HDD to the SSD and afterwards extending the partition and file system (the partition on the end is for my /home so extending was easily possible).
