I guys, how can I reproduce the exact system configuration of my PC on another PC? Just copy the home folder on an external drive and then past it on the other machine?

You probably want to clone the disk. There are lots of guides on this out there. I usually use CloneZilla.

Here’s an Arch article discussing migration (including cloning) https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Migrate_installation_to_new_hardware

If you don't want to clone the disk but do want to match system level stuff (outside the home folder) you might like to use https://github.com/CyberShadow/aconfmgr

I was looking for something like this... I need to rebuild my MythTv system due to years of messing around and this looks like it might be the answer. Thanks!
