Swapping out an old 2TB pcie 3 drive for a newer 2TB pcie 4 drive.
I was leaning towards using dd, after shrinking the partition on the source drive so it doesn't also 'copy' all the empty space.
Have you done this recently? What was your method?
Or is there a CachyOS/kde tool I may be unaware of?

I'm about to do just that, but a bit overwhelmed. Over the many years of using Debian (not a heavy user though, only some slow progressing self host projects), there are many utilities or programmes I installed that I wouldn't remember, is there an easy way to identify what is not "base" Debian and list them, so I'd reinstall them?
