I see that there are insructions for easily miggrating from System A to B if both are running the same version of Ubuntu.
I however just loaded Ubuntu 18.04 on a new system (with a GREAT deal of help from people on this forum, so Thank You.). My old system is running 16.04.
is there an easy way to move my various applications over the the new machine, short of reloading and reinstalling them one by one?
on a related note, can I just copy the entire contents of my current /home directory to the new system and have it all magically function there? (is there any functionality at all under /home? or is it just dumb file storage?)
