Easily copy arch install

| Is there a way I can easily replicate an arch installation that I make? I'm considering making the switch to it, but I'm on a shitty dinky laptop that I'm gonna ditch as soon as I can. I don't really want to put in all that effort for something I'm going to intentionally bail on, but if I could easily replicate my install elsewhere then that'd be perfect. Should I make an installation script to do it, and keep that on a private github repo?

please consider opensuse


| >>990906 honestly idk, but you can try to copy .bash_history somewhere or something and just kinda replicate most of the steps


| you can copy your drive with clonezilla

| Exporting all your installed packages with someting like pacman -Qq (read the manpage and stackoverflow, there might be better flags than -Qq) so you can reinstall that list of packages on a different machine, as well as a backup of your home directory might be good enough
