use strelec to clone your drive to the new one

Dont forget to mark as solution if your question is answered

Note: My advice is amateur help/beginner troubleshooting, someone else can probably troubleshoot way better than me.

- I do have some experience, and I can use google pretty well. - Feel free to quote me I may respond soon.

I made a snapshot of /hom with Timeshift, it looks like this.

Not sure why it puts a empy root in. Ilus I though a backup of /home would only be /home.
