Greetings )
I just purchased second PC and i want to make two identical systems (so i can conveniently work on both).
First is Asus Tuf A17, second is GEEKOM A6 Mini PC
Is there any way to achieve this?
System Ubuntu 25.10
And betto do it in secure way…
Do you want to get the initial setup cloned or to have it synced all the time? What is the size of your SSDs?
Only clone configs, custom scripts, tweaked .conf’s etc.
Both 1 Tb
Sounds like you just want to copy the hidden folders and maybe some of the hidden files in home folder. There you find all configs bound to your local account (such as configs of each program). The most important folders are .config and .local, but there can also be other folders as .mozilla for Firefox configs etc. If you want to make sure you have all configs, just copy everything hidden from home directory (except .cache, since it can be large and has nothing important).
If you have stored custom scripts manually somewhere else, you should know which folders you also have to copy (same with all other files and folders you want to include, but that is something only you know about).
Just copy all I mentioned above to an USB flash drive and on the new computer paste it into the home directory - replace everything it asks for. Some configs may require a restart before being active.
System configs as additional apt repositories are not included with this method, but it is probably easier and faster to just manually add them again if needed. 99% of all important configs are included within the method above.
Theoretically it is possible to clone the whole SSD and I know at least two ways. That’s why I asked about disk size. But after you last post I don’t think that is what you want (it is also more time consuming and a way less easy than just copying files and folders). Please tell if you run into issues.
