Hey there, I'm a bit unsure if this thread is the right place, but I thought the LTS forum would suit me best. - If not, just let me know! I'm working on transferring my Linux VM running in WSL to another Oracle VM. The goal is to get a dynamic IP address for my WSL environment so it works smoothly. I don't want to start from scratch because it would be frustrating to set up a new VM and lose all my files. I'd like to move everything from my WSL VM to the Oracle one. What's the best approach? And is this even feasible? Thanks a lot!

I haven't tried WSL yet, but is it really that straightforward as transferring Linux to Linux? Just install the new version and copy your home directory files over? This has always been appealing for me since all my user files and settings are neatly stored in one folder that can be easily moved between computers.
