Personally I haven’t. While Linux is imperfect, choosing the right distro makes the rest of the experience straightforward. And with it’s whole complexity, I find Linux more user friendly than Windows. Even driver issues, broken shadow file ownership and KDE specifics only made me more confident about my choice to use Linux after I solved everything.
Isn’t everything in dot files in home? Create package lists and export them, add dot files.
Or keep home on a seperate partition or drive.
New installation, import package list.
This seems straight forward to me.
I’ve never tried it, even if I know people are using it.
Still it’s not an easy solution like the one people are using when upgrading from an old to a new iPhone.
I know Linux doesn’t have Apple behind, but it’s better than Windows/Mac in every other way, so why not try to improve this?
I am not sure whats to improve, it is just a situation where it is easy if you know how.
As for the iphone, the amount of trouble that process has caused me is not trivial. Things are not the same! I would put it as more complicated. People are just used to dealing with it. Part of the issue with the iphone is applications and Icloud crap.
Yes, but to folks accustomed to using SuperDuper to create bootable backups, it does not seem so straightforward.
That seems like a completely different issue, if you just want a clone then clonezilla, which is also easy.
