I have an SSD now and don’t mind rebuilding around 100GB or restoring backups. I’d like to transfer the user folder to the new SSD without a full reinstall. For Ubuntu Server 19.x, the command would be something like `mv /path/to/user/data /dev/sdX1` depending on your setup.

Everything is fine, just confirming I followed the steps correctly. That's all.
