All GNU operating systems are very powerful, and PureOS is no exception. This brief how-to describes the steps for upgrading from a Librem 13v1 (with HDD) to a Librem13v2 (with a 2TB NVMe SSD), but the practice is the same if you ever want to re-install your installed applications list from an old computer to a new computer. **NOTE: apt-clone is an alternative method that works within Debian GNU/Linux, but not derivatives such as PureOS** =On 'old' Computer= ==Create the package list== ``` dpkg --get-selections > /tmp/selections.list apt-mark showauto > /tmp/auto.list ``` ==Get the address of the 'old' machine== Settings -> Network -> Select Network Settings -> Note the IPv4 Address (e.g. 192.168.1.182) =On 'new' Computer= ==Copy over the 'old' computer clone files== ``` scp <user>@<ip-address>:/tmp/*.list /tmp ``` In my case it was: ``` scp todd@192.168.1.182:/tmp/*.list /tmp ``` ==Update the package list before updating applications== ``` sudo apt update ``` ==Upgrade to the latest base system first== ``` sudo apt upgrade ``` ==Install all the packages== ``` sudo /usr/lib/dpkg/methods/apt/update /var/lib/dpkg/ sudo dpkg --set-selections < /tmp/selections.list sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade sudo xargs apt-mark auto < auto.list ```
