Move Bazzite installation from one disk to another?
question
Hello! I have a desktop PC with two disks; an older & worn SATA SSD, and a newer, faster NVMe SSD. Currently, a copy of Windows is installed to the NVMe drive, and Bazzite is installed to the SATA disk. However, I am now using the Bazzite install more than I am using the Windows install. I am not interested in reconfiguring every nook and cranny of both OSs again, so I essentially want to swap which disks each OS is installed to.
On Windows, this would typically be accomplished by using a tool like Clonezilla or Macrium Reflect to create a complete disk image of all partitions. Then it would be a trivial process to take that image and install it to the new disk. What would be the "Linuxy" way of doing this? Do the same general principles apply? I don't want to accidentally walk into a footgun.
I don't know if it will matter, but the Bazzite installation is encrypted with LUKS.

Solution
Same principle applies. The only real footgun is having both the cloned and original disks when booting Linux after. You need to make sure all partitions in the system have unique uuids when you boot into bazzite. The best way is to change the uuids of the original disk after cloning.
