I got an SSD and can't really be bothered having to reinstall about 100gb worth of stuff along with restoring backups and what not

 

1. got new SSD

2. want to move user folder to SSD

3. preferably without reinstalling everything

 

possible? and if so what would the command be - ubuntu server 19.something

can't you just run rsync -av /old/home /new/home

 

 

This combined with changing /home mount point in fstab
