Some years ago, I make the mistake of doing a single partition for the system (I'm using EndeavourOS). Now I have a new disk, and I want to move the OS there, but not /home, which I want to stay in the old drive. How can I do it?

if OP will use "dd" then they need to make sure that new disk is bigger than old disk.

Even then after the "dd" command is complete, the new disk would appear to be same size as old disk. OP would then need a disk resizing tool to reclaim the remaining disk space
