Hello again, people of Garuda.
I was FINALLY able to acquire a 2TB m.2 2280 nvme drive (intel brand), i am quite used to migrate a volume, but i have never attempted it on linux, let alone on Garuda...
The idea is to "clone" my current main hdd into the new ssd, reboot and select the ssd as boot drive in my motherboard, but, is this going to work on Garuda Linux? (xfce, lts) do i need to install a different kernel? (some people are telling me to switch to zen, i did see that zen is never and has better features).
Is there any special/specific way to do what i want to do in Garuda and/or Linux?, my file system is btrfs.
I have read some tutorials, but they are made for absolute newbies, and they pretty much state the obvious, i DO AM a newbie on Garuda, but not on Linux, and certainly not on PC's, it is just that i finally migrated my personal PC to Linux in last November.

OK, i am most likely confused, i thought this was a proper questions for "Issues and Assistance", it was not my intention to post in the wrong thread, i am very sorry for that.
As for the "how to" guides, as i said, they basically explain what i already know, and most of them are very basic, what i was asking here, is if that way i am going to proceed (the one i described) is correct or not for GARUDA linux, i understand that Garuda is based on Arch, but it is not exactly the same, and since i am moving my main volume here, i thought it was better to be sure.
Again, thank you very much for your help, i am sorry to have posted in the wrong thread.
OK, thank you very much, i am downloading the clonezilla live usb iso right now.
