[SOLVED] Moving my os to another computer

I'm buying a new computer and i was wondering if there was any way to take my whole distro i have rn and move it to the other computer

I have too many configurations and applications and i cant install them from scratch again

So is there any way to package the whole distro I have rn and unpack it in the new computer

Re: [SOLVED] Moving my os to another computer

Just copy it over.  You should regenerate the initramfs for the new hardware, and you may need to adjust a few things like network interface names and disk UUIDs, but other than that, nothing special is needed.
